Ill be honest. I was being a bit facetious. I’m actually already union and we see way larger performance-driven raises than what you lay out. This year it was 9%. In my experience the union is a matter of protection against stagnant wages, with the types of raises you’ve shown to be for the lowest performing members.
It could also be that your union blows goats. They are not all equal. Maybe run for the next election?

It can absolutely be worth it for you depending on your situation. Everyone should always do what is best for them and their family. Note those guaranteed raises are like .04 cents an hour usually graduating on a scale over 8 years or whatever the length of the collective bargaining agreement is up to something like $1 an hour. Maybe like .04, .06, .09, .13, .24, .37, .65, .97. So over 8 years your pay increases by $2.55 dollars an hour in total plus some cost of living bump at some point in there. The cola adjustment is not typically matched to inflation but it is typically your most significant raise.
Keep in mind you don’t get this for free you lose some percentage of your pay to the union in dues for this service, it was 7% in my case. I cant recall if it was a percentage fee or just a flat fee but i made like $180 a paycheck and $14 went to the teamsters.

The school is passing out chest binders to children? Do they just have them on hand for the random trans student? That sounds off to me. This is more than no communication between parents and the school. This sounds like the child doesn't communicate with their parents, either. I hope the kid is ok. ❤🌈

Reply to Need help from Maine residents by jannarmj
Hi everyone from Maine
Sorry if my English is bad but I am writing this in hopes of finding people who are willing to help this girl out. This project is called 'Love Notes from all over the World'. It is long overdue and I'm close to completing this, just need a few more States.
If anyone from here would be willing to make a HANDWRITTEN note on a piece of paper and take a photo in front of a location unique to where you live (restaurants, murals, statues, churches, etc), I would want my note that says:
Niko, Jana's love for you is so big it has reached (your location)!
I'd be more than happy to any sort of help. Many thanks to everyone in advance.
