I’m an employee, but my hours aren’t set. I can work no hours or forty in a week. I was a contractor before, but this arrangement made it easier to add other forms of compensation besides wages to our agreement. It’s an atypical arrangement.

I don't think given the info you've presented here, you can fairly make a comparison of union vs non.

Given my current position, I suppose not - but I’ve been in a union and my partner has never not been in a union. I have other family members in unions. It’s a topic I’m close to and very interested in. I see no reason I can’t weigh in on it.

Oh hey I didn't mean to say you don't belong in this, or any other discussion.

I just meant that the initial statement about your current benifits compared to someone in the union wasn't fair.

Sorry if I made it seem your opinion wasn't welcome, that wasnt my intent.
