After reading this, if you’re not Union already, you should immediately fix that. And if your forest isn’t Union and someone’s trying to organize your forest and you’re still thinking about it, this should remove all doubt.

NFFE is worthless

Remove all doubt? My only doubt is where the Union was at when employees were getting terminated for not taking an experimental drug.

Oh, right, the Union took the side of AGENCIES against actual EMPLOYEES.

Fuck these unions.

I didn't see them do anything meaningful but take money from my paycheck. Nffe = Not Fighting For Everyone

Yep. They fight hard for their buddies, or when it gets them out of actual work.

Overall. Bunch of scumbags. Did have one good guy who was a steward, but ironically, he left the Union because they did not support him.

I wonder why.
