The Teamsters are now at our barn looking to get us organized.
I am looking to get both sides of the story from anyone who can help. Part of me would like to sign up and get the protection they offer as Fl;orida is a right to work state and you can get fired for peeing on the toilet seat.
My questions are,
does being a Teamster give you protection from being fired at will?
if you go on strike do you still have to pay member dues?
How can a family man pay his bills if he is on strike, this one worries me a lot as I have a family to support and walking a picket line with no money to pay the bills is scarey, Yes i do plan for a rainy day however some strikes can last a long time.
Any other information / suggestions you have would be very helpful, this is all new to me. I am attending an organizational meeting this weekend and would like to be armed with some knowledge before going in to it.
Thanks for your ideas and help...
