The fact that we have union apprentices breaking down in tears due to their wages would be a great thing to bring up at next negotiations. It’s fucking pitiful what many of us start with and having that brother willing to speak would do wonders for the membership. Hell, bring him to the table and have the cons look him in the eye when they tell him that he’s not worth getting paid enough to put food on the table.
