had never even thought of that as a feature of unions.

i know a couple people selling 'legalshield', and a few people that have bought it. having the ability to contact an attorney for 'now and then' questions, to clear stuff up, or write letters.... $30/month or something like that. Seems similar, and potentially valuable, to have that in a corporate setting, depending on how much $ it would actually run you.

It seems like a reasonable idea, but personally I wouldn't trust any company that operates as an MLM as Legal Shield apparently does. It's hard to even find good information about such companies given the prevalence of astroturfing by their members.

agree on mlm in general. conceptually, having some basic access to legal specific to workplace law would be a reasonable benefit for union members though.
