People have many reasons not to want to support the union. Some simply do not believe that the services provided by the union are worth the dues it has collected. Others may find that the union`s single agenda does not serve them well because they are new to work, have a specialty that is not recognized in bargaining, or think their effectiveness is under-compensated. Some are upset by the union`s role in setting up and defending underperforming workers. Many find the union`s political activity and the use of contributions to promote partisan concerns, candidates and ideology in bad taste. Still others believe that union officials are corrupt and not responsible for their membership. “Thank you to SEIU Local 99 and our district task team for reaching a preliminary agreement tonight,” said Vivian Ekchian, Acting Superintendent. “We have worked hard with the management of SEIU Local 99 to find a long-term solution that meets the needs of our students and employees.” The agreement must be approved by both the Education Committee and the trade union to enter into force. No no. All provisions of the collective agreement between the union and your employer continue to apply to your employment. Your salaries, health care, retirement and everything governed by the collective agreement will remain unchanged if you unsubscribe from SEIU 99. Those represented by a local negotiator often pay several related organisations, such as national and national member organisations, as well as regional, national and national labour councils.
