A Final, Final Thought

An interesting hypothetical question was posed. "Would you be willing to take your old job back?"

I've actually given the matter a lot of thought and my answer is absolutely yes, subject to certain conditions.

I would not lose my seniority/pay rate and I would only pay the union an agency fee and no tribute. 

I had thought about insisting that I pay the union nothing (that can actually be done if the union expells you :-) but decided that might limit my rights under such interesting laws as the NLRA. I kind of enjoy knowing I have the right to see how the members money is being spent.

Under no circumstances would I give up any rights I have to file a complaint with DOL or limit my access to the court system. 

Any job offers?
