And you left out the best part, they'd be paying way more for that ancient product...

But this issue isn't even about whether or not you like unions. It's about whether you shuold be forced to join, or be able to choose to join. How can anyone defend the notion that you should not have the freedom to choose not to join?

I personally believe the Catholic Church is awesome. That doesn't mean I think anyone should be forced to give money to the church.

I don't get it...can't begin to comprehend why anyone would be opposed to laws giving employees the right to decide for themselves whether or not to join a union.
