Teamsters didn't endorse Kamala Harris for not committing to keep Lina Khan as FTC Chair. Trump just announced that he is firing her for a pro-business stooge. Play stupid games win stupid prices. Trump

I’m in SEIU as a respiratory therapist. Have gotten 30% in raises in 3 years.

I'm SEIU as well. Left my last job to make 50%+ more WITH a salary schedule, a pension, and all the other benefits. Not to mention union protections I didn't have at my last job, and a much healthier work environment. My $70 dues are absolutely worth it and I couldn't see myself going anywhere else.

Absolutely. The first 20% happened in the first year.

Damn your SEIU chapter sounds actually functional. My local represents the biggest bargaining unit for state workers in CA and barely negotiated 3% per year (with the last year not even guaranteed and probably not happening due to budget) — not even keeping up with inflation, and didn’t secure telework so most departments got RTO orders from our lovely governor who wants to please donors and corporate real estate assets.

To be fair my hospital was not up to par with others so the negotiations brought us in line. Went from 80k to 105k
