Although I support (kinda) joining a Union, the union subs are not a trivial amount of money! Yeah it sounds trivial when you say a pint of beer a week, but thats a meaningless statement taken out of the context of an underpaid diggers weekly, monthly or yearly accounts. As a digger there were weeks when I couldn't even afford any food, let alone a pint of beer. Which is the problem...
If joining a union guaranteed an increase in income then it would be worth the money definitely. However, I'd say its something to think about very carefully (financially speaking).
