Reply to comment by Celphi in Disney World union members reject contract offer. by TheOriginalNICK
That's just the south in general, also right to work laws in this country really keep union membership numbers down. I worked as a union electrician in Florida for five and a half years, we have very low market share, and because unions are weak down here, the conditions, pay, and benefits were significantly lower than other union strong areas. However, I don't regret being a union member one bit. My pay and benefits were far above what a lot of electricians are paid in this state.
Unfortunately the IBEW local that services Orlando and Disney has one of the lowest scales in the state.

Ouch my back hurts seeing that. I do just fine carrying the power house 5.

And what exactly do you propose as an immediate solution? There isn't one unfortunately. We are a society reliant on fossil fuels for almost everything.
