UNION MEMBERSHIP SHALL BE MANDATORY AS A CONDITION OF EMPLOYMENT INCLUDING THE PAYMENT OF UNION DUES. A NEW COMPREHENSIVE UNION BARGAINING AGREEMENT SHALL BE INTEGRATED AND IMPLEMENTED INTO THE NSPS SYSTEM AS THE CORNERSTONE OF EMPLOYEES RIGHTS, BENEFITS, AND PROTECTIONS. AS A REFERENCE, PRIVATE SECTOR CORPORATIONS THAT UTILIZE UNION LABOR PROVIDE SUPERIOR PAY AND BENEFITS AND RETAIN A DEDICATED AND LOYAL WORKFORCE. THESE COMPANIES ARE AMONG THE LARGEST IN THE U.S. (UPS 30 BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR, ALBERTSONS 42 BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR, KROGER STORES, 65 BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR, SAFEWAY 27 BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR, COSTCO 50 BILLION PLUS DOLLARS A YEAR) UNION MEMBERSHIP AND THE PAYMENT OF UNION DUES IS MANDATORY AS A CONDITION OF EMPLOYMENT WITH THESE OUTSTANDING PRIVATE SECTOR ORGANIZATIONS. THE LABOR UNIONS AUTHORITY, PURPOSE, AND RESOLVE SHALL BE ENHANCED AND SECURED AS A VITAL COMPONENT OF THE NSPS. I AM REQUESTING THIS ISSUE BECOME A TOP PRIORITY AND ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY
