[Histonet] low salary & unions

Dave,

My lab has unionized histotechs and I'd say we are in the lower half of
salary ranges for our area.  As far as the union here goes, it seems they
are good at collecting dues and at keeping garbage employees employed.  Not
only do unions allow bad employees to keep their jobs, they make it
difficult to reward exceptional employees for going above and beyond the
call of duty (since all employees are given union negotiated
raises/benefits/etc..).

This might be a grass is always greener thing so don't be so sure that a
union will help the histotech's position, that is not always the case.

My Opinion,

Depending on what you want to make, you could get a job anywhere.  It seems 
everyone is hiring
Unfortunately, it doesnt seem that salarys are rising despite the lack of 
histotechs.

Sad and scary situation if you ask me.  I am not much for unions but now i 
see why they are valuable.

Just my opinion.
