DOES ANYBODY ELSE SEE SOMETHING WRONG HERE? MY UNION DUES ARE MORE THAN HALF OF MY GROSS PAY!!! THIS IS BULLSHIT!

[Dude Man]

Hmmm, smells like it. Sorry to hear about that man. I'm to young to understand any of that so, I can't help ya.

[Mark of the Dragon]

I'm bringing home LESS than half of my earnings! WHAT IN THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THESE BASTARDS!?!?!?!?!? WHAT THE FUCK AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH 20 DOLLARS A WEEK!?!?!?!?!?

[DarkElite]

Dude, thats fucking bullshit man.  One freaking theird of you pay?? Not right...

You should blow up the place...

[D. Ein]

Where do you work? What do you do?

[Xorlak]

Well, that's interesting.  My dad works for a union and only pays something like $20 per month in dues.

Of course, you're only working 9.5 hours per week and dues are a fixed rate, so if you worked more, you'd get a higher percentage of your pay (which of course, is realy hard to do for a full time student, I know, heh...).

I'd bring it to your management's attention.  If they can't do anything about it, well it's up to you if 23.83/9.5 = $2.50 per hour is worth it.  (Heh...)

[Dude Man]

I remember I had a job delivering flyers, it paid 20 bucks a month. You only worked one day a week however.

[D. Ein]

Once again, it depends on what you're doing. For example, if you have to take care of a parking lot that's always empty, and you visit it like once every two weeks, then 20 bucks per week is good. If however you work in mcDonalds or something, then that's not that good.

If you look at the pay stub...it tells you exactly where I work. Giant, a unionized grocery store -_-

I work in the produce department...rotating fruits and vegetables, re-working the older ones and putting a pretty little discount tag on it, and keeping the place clean. Easy as it sounds, I never get a chance to sit back except in my 15 minute break every 2 1/2 hours.

[D. Ein]

Kidnap their kids and make the ransom a higher pay :ph34r:

[Mark of the Dragon]

They would just fire me and hten have me arrested for that -_-

[D. Ein]

...or you could always just find a new job. Either way, it works.

I have put out applications to every business and commercial location within a 10 mile radius within the past 3 months. I can't apply to any of them again for another 3.
