You did good, Dan ----- many x's I don't like headings where the poster put his opinion in (Spain) like you did. It was well called for in your instance. I was ready to leave the house - just checked the heading one last x. I would have gone the rest of my life thinking we were unionizing our prostitutes.

That said - no opinion one way or other.

Hundreds of thousands of prostitutes working in Spain urgently need labor rights to prevent them from being exploited

Well, fine, this is only fair. But the down side is that when you present yourself at the brothel you get, according to the fair union rules, the darling with the most SENIORITY. Bwaaahahahaha.

I assume the Prime Minister is on board with this as a matter of professional courtesy.

Isn't "Hookers Union" redundant?

May you, the reader, make of that what you will........:)

[Tacis]

The union fat cats want to keep as much cash for the leftist politicians as possible so, rather than continue to pay the hookers, if they can make them union memebrs, the union bosses can do to the hookers what they always done to other union members for nothing.

Spain under Zapatero is becoming a cesspool.

[Tacis]

Of course, the key issue is do Spanish hookers really want to take the hit in status and self-esteem that would be associated with becoming union members? I think they've got enough self-respect, both personal and professional, to reject the stigma of a union label. After all, there are some depths to which not even a Spanish hooker will go, maybe not a French whore, but certainly a Spanish one.

Don't see why not. If a prostitute wanted to become a politician, wouldn't she be able to join a party?
