Is there a Union at Raytheon? Yeah? Really? Are you protected by a contract? Huh? What contract?
Oh!! The one you voted on last October, but have never seen! Doesn’t it seem to you that the IAMAW Local 933 has dropped the ball on providing you workers the representation you pay dearly for? Some of you are paying over a thousand dollars a year and for what? There ain’t no contract! Three whole months have passed and nobody has a printed copy of the contract! There isn’t even a downloadable copy on the Union Website. So what are you paying dues for? Does it feel good? Yeah, you’re getting the shaft. Too bad you didn’t vote for the decertification effort back in ’09. Three thousand bucks in dues later you must be wondering if it was a mistake to have backed up these guys. What did they buy you? Did they get you any benefits more than the lowest paid salaried worker? No? But the witless protection is worth the investment! Isn’t it? You’ve got that contract to fall back on…right? Yeah, I thought so.
