    State of the Unions: Canadians prefer the My Way ethos By Fazil Milhar Financial Post
    Non-union workers more satisfied with jobs than unionized

    Job satisfaction is not as high among unionized employees as it is among non-unionized workers. This news will come as a surprise to some readers and not to others.

    Surprise or not, a National Post/Global National poll commissioned by LabourWatch and conducted by Leger Marketing makes for interesting reading on the state of mind of union workers compared to their non-union counterparts.

    Union members don't want dues going to politics By Wojtek Dabrowski Financial Post
    76% oppose party support

    New data suggest that most unionized workers don't back their leaders in spending their union dues on supporting political causes.

    Instead, they want the money spent on shop issues -- namely bargaining for compensation and working conditions -- at their place of work.
