You really seem like a well intentioned individual and I was pretty harsh with you. I just thought it was odd that you stated that you didn’t support the unions (paraphrased) but then stated that you would be willing to strike if nurse-patient ratios weren’t satisfactory (again paraphrased).

If I am wrong in my assumption then I ask for your total forgiveness.
I hate unions- however nurse patient ratios is important to me.
You are forgiven .
