Aren’t unions just an elaborate scheme for taking our dues money?

Question

Answer

Foxwoods will certainly try to convince you of this. But what they won’t tell you is that the job protections, benefits, and compensation packages a union contract provides far outweigh what you’ll spend on dues.

Remember, it doesn’t cost you money to belong to a union, IT PAYS!
