Which job should I choose? Union or Non-Union?

Question

I am currently working at a small bus. auto dealer. I am in the public eye ALOT since I handle all marketing & events for them. With winter, I was put on temp. layoff so I started looking for another job. We all like job security right? I was offered a position with a union office. I didn't even know there was such a thing. The pay is pretty much the same at both places. It's the benefits that are making it tough. The union one would have AWESOME benes and I have a family to think about. Insurance where I am is pretty pricey... The job I currently have gives me a little bit of local familiarity - people know me because of my job. Another thing with this union one I would only work M-F 8-5, with my current job hours vary and some times are excruciatingly long. The job descriptions are a little different. Here I handle all aspects of marketing, there I'll be an assistant to a coordinator of training programs...

Help!!

Answer 1

that is a matter of opinion. my husband is a union man (20yrs). i think alot has to do with your political opinion.

there are good and bad things on either side. you just have to do a side by side comparison and determine what is the best for you.

unions are def for the workers! at least you always have someone to watch your back and if the boss man tries to screw with you, they will go to battle.

not like the corporate world where you walk into work one day and they fire you! for know reason and without cause. just because they can!
