scare campaign won't gel

It is interesting that there is a fear campaign surrounding union membership. The students that I know with part time jobs that allow them to join a union are in a much better position than those not in unions. Those in unions are paid penalty rates while those not in unions can work on a Sunday night until 10pm and get the same low rate of pay that they get on an ordinary weekday. The union member also gets consideration for study hours and in one case got a $150.00 dollar scholarship to support their education. The students in unions have better conditions and are treated with greater respect than those without. For those people who have experience with students in both groups, this union scare campaign simply won't gel.
