Consumer Dude: 'bank at a credit union, not at a bank'

The U.S. Public Interest Research Group (PIRG) has in its crosshairs Bank of America's recently boosted ATM fees...to $3! Consumer hero Ed Mierzwinski on his blog says consumers have an alternative:

So bank at a credit union, not at a bank. Most credit unions waive surcharges on other credit union members. There aren't as many credit union ATMs, but there are some, especially in metropolitan areas. And plan your trips so you have enough cash so you don't need to stick your card into one of Bank of America's or some other big bank's double-dipping ATMs.
