Becoming a union member saved my life and changed the direction of my life, being a single mom of two with no child support. I vigorously approve of unions.

Kevin Crabtree

I was a member and a Steward that is why I am on my own now Unions are not what everyone thinks they are they make for lazy people and substandard Products that is my experience great for benefits though

John Hargrove

My brief stint as a first line manager convinced me that workers need unions. I saw how upper management, in that setting, really wanted to treat workers.

Sunny Sunshinestein

I worked for a union and later belonged to a union. The downfall of America's middle class correlates directly with the downfall of unions, beginning at least 30 years ago.

But I wholeheartedly believe in them!

I almost did one time though for cashiers at Fred Meyer in the 90s. My department voted it down thank God because no one could afford the union dues. They were crazy expensive.

Are you asking a question or hoping someone will fill in the blanks for you? Sorry, this is KTVZ's poll, not your private blog.

We need that money in our own country to help our schools, Medicare and education. Don’t you care about our neighbors and communities?

Dave

That money won't help our neighbors and schools when Iranian nukes start hitting our allies and eventually us! That is their goal as they have stated for years!!

Ka San

If it even needs saying, the Military Industrial Complex is the MOST bloated budget of the entire federal budget. If our current "completely-in-over-his-head" Def Sec + idiot prez hadn't started a completely unnecessary war, we would not have depleted stores of weapons and this be on nobody's radar!

Dave

Ka San, You sound like a radical liberal. Guess you'd rather have nukes start flying around in the middle east and then closer to home in a couple years.

As a tax payer and resident of Deschutes County I am tired of my tax dollars being used to clean up the filth the homeless people leave behind. If this is a deterrent for them living there then we won’t have to clean it up again. Thus saving tax payer dollars and the rocks are a better look.
