Re: Union dues..........GRUMPYGrumpy, by my estimates based upon 1.2% of gross pay going to the TWU as union dues, that would be almost 7 million a year.
Seems to me that is surely enough money to buy all the lawyers the TWU would ever need and then some? And it sure seems that the TWU have NEVER taken ANYTHING that Telus has done without some sort of legal challenge. So I don't think that a lack of money was ever a concern for your TWU bosses!
However, is that a good way to spend your money? I don't think so!
On the other hand, perhaps it is better than simply giving it away to support the BC NDPers or to pay those annual six figure dues to the Canadian and BC Labour Federations, etc. simply so that the TWU execs can go to all their annual parties?
