That's funny. The place where I worked under a union would only allow
overtime pay if it was approved, otherwise you still had to work overtime,
but at normal pay. Plus I had to work holiday's and some night shift.
All of the places I worked where there was no union have great benfits. In
fact the place I work for now allows me to telecommute, with very flexible
hours. Plus they pay my mileage when I do have to go into the office! You
tell me, how are non-union companies screwing folks?
