The only job I ever had that was unionized, I really didn't even notice the dues. I made so much more money than every other job I had, and I wasn't even spending it because it was on a cruise ship where they fed me, clothed me, and gave me a place to sleep the whole 5 months. I had more money than I ever had at one time when I finally disembarked.

Yeah I've heard stories about cruise ships. Who absolutely do not want to work on one where the crew are not in a union. You are effectively trapped in the office 24 hours a day for months on end, there's a lot of scope for abuse of personnel in that scenario.
