Just for clarification I'm a volunteer, not paid. ( I know some on here think that's my regular job..)

Yes I agree , and that's one of the examples I'd bring up as far as where they are useful and needed. Another where big cities and other municipalities, in order to save a few $$, attempt to close stations and cut back on staffing apparatus sufficiently which is a serious safety issue . But on the other hand, I despise when that same union protects some POS that deserves to be fired or punished for a legitimate issue.
