union dues.. $58 a month. Strike happened once in 30 years, and we got back on our feet after that... and I've had no dealings with the union...
But the deal is...if your good with learning a new job, young, responsible, and want to land a start of a career...then apply. I know more jobs are coming as well, since Sik has almost too much work for the current workforce, and were popping up other plants to maintain the work..and there are a lot of people retiring each year...hell out of my hanger, 5 guys retired this year. and that will boot me up a position when they get really busy.
