Normally you will work a while like 90 days which is sometimes 90 workdays or sometimes 90 calendar days before you get in the union.It might mean you get fired before then if the Union doesnt like you,or the company may not like you and fire you then too.Or in some cases the company will hire people and fire them before they get in the Union.I dont know about the Railroad,but welders would get hired to do a job,and as soon as 89 days were up they would fire them because if they got in the union it would be a lot harder to fire them,plus they would have to pay them more and give them insurance,so they fired them and had a job done or close to it for less money.Its been a while back,but in the 1990s my Teamster Union dues were 54 dollars a month. I brought home between 1200 and 1900 per week so it didnt hurt me too bad.You can ask somebody working there how much they pay,I always got a receipt in my pay envelope when they took out dues.The dues also paid for a magazine and some other stuff they would mail to you. The other times I worked in a Union was in the 1970s for the Steelworkers and Ironworkers and it was less than 54 dollars a month,seems like about 35 dollars a month but all of those prices are surely higher and depend somehow on how much you make and what the contract is.Different places would be different scales and different dues Im sure.If you know what Union Local office it is you could call them and find out.Its nowhere like the big deal some try and say it is.You wont even notice the dues probably,your Federal and State taxes are way,way higher.
