Your union isn't going to be able to do a damn thing about some guy on the other side of the planet working for fraction of your wage.
LOL, Aerlinthian thinks Sith's cooking job is going to be outsourced.

I'm starting a union for very important posters tackling very important life issues. Want to join Sith?

Not the union, but we've been lied into believing that protectionism isn't even an option. There's *something* we can and should do about this.

You already know (or should remember) my position on this which I have outlined numerous times before. So without rehashing all that, I suggest to anyone who has an iota of a brain to dig themselves up out of the labor pool and go to where the going is good. Things aren't going to be getting any better in this country for a long time to come for labor unless there is an dramatic upheaval/paradigm shift.
And unfortunately too many dummies think the answer is ever increasing minimum wage or unions or some other internal populist drivel.

I don't think you understand what a union does. Being in a union would not help you with your issue.
If a company wants to trim down their staff, they have every right to do so. The only thing a union would do, is make sure that the senior guy stays, and the junior guy goes. This of course, assumes that it is written that way in the CBA, which I believe most are, but there could be special circumstances, ie: A tradesman.

Well, that's pretty decent money.
I wouldn't take any extra shifts either unless you'll get hours cut for not volunteering often enough(another fabulous right-to-work trend), just show up, stay calm, and do the work. The speed of service and business plan is their problem. If they want to shortstaff the kitchen, they'll see what happens when enough people call off.
