Growing up, my dad worked for GM and his union job and health care took care of our family very very well. Now in a white collar job, I often wonder about how my health insurance would look like if I was union. How would your job search change if your career was unionized?

My insurance ad a union member the last 10 years has been far better than any insurance I ever paid for in 30 years of working. So when it comes to things a job has to have. Insurance is very high on the list.

Do labor unions really successfully offer people better insurance these days? I'm doubtful because it seems like labor unions don't win very often anymore. I'd love for someone to prove me wrong but I just highly doubt it'd make a difference.

It's hard to generalize about it, but unions have been diminished since the war on them began in the Reagan years. Generally speaking, the way the middle class was nurtured by unions is now, sad to say, something for the history books. There probably are unions that still offer great benefits, but they're always under attack.

Union is certainly the best

I need some expert advice. I have 40k in 401k and 40k cash in savings account. I moved all 401k to a very low return safe portfolio in July and basically I haven't done anything with the cash as well.

Starting to feel like I am missing out on returns and now is the time to put everything back into the market. Does anyone know reliable financial advisors that will do it for me and also account for the independence related restrictions.

Other suggestions/tools appreciated as well.

Additional Posts in Salary Negotiations

Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.

Is it a red flag for them to not share this? His total comp could be less at this new job…
