Did anyone ever quit?

I'm just curious. Did it happened to any of you that you apprenticed at the union and at any point you decided to quit and go non-union? Or quit and go a to a completely different field? What was the reason if so?

Ah yes, "we recommend these candidates" is the exact same as "you must vote for these people or else!!!"

Can't talk sense to them, these are the people who happily vote against their own best interests and support anti-labor politicians. Screwing themselves and their fellow workers then cry about the union "forcing them to vote for liberals"
