If someone is negotiating for me I pay dues into their organization, which I feel is the honorable thing to do. There was no option for me to negotiate on my own behalf.
Roger, I copy that. It's just an old joke that was fun to slip into the comments while we are talking about the "yuge" win over the collectivist union mentality.
Marx said, "Workers of the World Unite" and unions became the vanguard of the attack on Capitalism and our whole way of life. Read the back of a union card and you'll see it's right out of the Communist Manifesto. "Rise Brothers!" It really makes me sick.
