Hey guys, I got the Mjut as a mount, but then purchased another mount, and now I can’t find the Mjut! I even went back to Niko to try and find it with no luck. How can I get my Mjut back?😭
I’m in a large school district in Colorado. I’m in a bit of a dilemma and need some advice. For the past 4 years, the union has done abysmally and has gotten us shit raises, given away our vacation time (with no payout), raised the dues, and the cabinet has been nothing more than a puppet for the district while taking our money. That cabinet stepped down in May. Now we have a new cabinet who has raised our dues again, are blaming it on one of the unions our union is part of and saying that that union is the reason that we haven’t done well at negotiations the past 4 years and that they’re the reason why we only got a 1.25% raise with no step while our insurance went up about 70%.
I’m furious about the 1.25% raise with no step, the drastic increase in insurance, the 50% cut in HSA contribution, and the fact that I feel like I was taken advantage of by paying the dues with the union not getting any benefits for us. My insurance went from $213/month to $297/month just for a single person high deductible plan, and with Colorado already being a high cost of living state, this is super painful.
I know the new union president, and she’s the dimmest bulb on the chandler. But the union VP is decently smart. At the meeting, the union showed some concrete steps they’re taking to try and make things better for our next negotiation meeting in February.
I left the union in a fit of rage at the beginning of July, but then I went to a union meeting to discuss the dues at the end of July and now I’m wondering if I made the right call by leaving. Over half the union has left because of the awful raise and the hike in dues. I know unions draw their strength from the number of members they have. But I’m also feeling raw and hesitant from the experiences of the past 4 years. Do you think I should rejoin the union?
