    Why are union subs so high in the US? As a part time worker I pay under a tenner a month, but even as a full time worker, I’d be paying £16.

      Because here they have to fight constantly and legal battles are expensive as shit in the US.

      Because Unions pay strike assistance.

      For example UAW pay 100$/day https://uaw.org/strike-faq/

      This way all members can participate in a strike and give it the necessary strength to achieve something. Still most Union fees are ridiciously low. Usually they are in the area of 1,5% of your salary.

      Mine are currently at about two hours’ labor per month.

      Well worth the cost

      I wouldn’t necessarily assume they’re being truthful.
