So i just got a job with the USPS and during orientation this union person came to speak with us, she is from NALC - nation association of letter carriers. she spoke about a bunch of this and that which i really didn't care for. she kept saying we'll "protect you" and things which i really didnt need. and to add benefits such as dental, i would have to put up an additional 290 bucks. bottom line is the membership fee is 22.64 per paycheck, which is 45 a month and 540 a year....i really dont know about this. what do you think? thanks

Join it's worth it in the long run. Hubby is member of A.P.W.U. American postal workers union.It may seem costly but there are lots of benefit discount programs you can get.If you don't want to do it now you can join at any time during your employment. You probably should wait and see how you like the job first. Give the job a few months then reconsider the opportunity.Enrollment is always open. ADDED: Your friend makes some what of a point. The saying that the last hired is the first fired , works sometimes but not always. It all depends on the job preformance you do. If you were hired after someone that is doing a terrible job and you are doing it better than him he will be fired not you. The union protects all the employees but being a member does not mean they can't fire you, they can.
