SIA, I think you are a little out of line with your statement or opinion regarding lifetime work guarantee and retirement at 90%. My husband has been a union member for quite a while now and there are no guarantees. Currently he is not working and when his "hours worked" run out we start paying monthly for the health insurance that WE hardly ever use but pay $8.00 an HOUR for out of his paycheck. You are wrong about the drugs and alcohol etc. If someone were to show up and test positive for one of them, they could be fired from the job and then they end up on a do not hire list. Yes they can still be a union member( by paying their dues) but chances are they won't get on a job that has drug testing. The BA won't even ask the person, they will just sit on the bench. I could inform you about unions and contracts etc. but will stop with what I have mentioned above. Please don't catorgorize everyone the same. Believe me, you want my husband working for the government jobs. He has the Homeland Security Clearance.
