The problem with "right to work" is that those who don't want to join the union nonetheless end up benefiting from its work and representation. I'd be impressed, I suppose, if those who holler loudest for their "right to work" without joining a union would immediately then give up any benefits and pay raises earned by the union they choose not to support.<br><br>keely<br><br><span style="font-style: italic;">"And these women that you spit on as they try to change their worlds/</span><br style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Are immune to your consultations . . . they're quite aware of what they're going through"</span><br>(With apologies to David Bowie)<br><br><br>> Date: Thu, 21 Jun 2007 15:44:45 -0700<br>> From: lfalen@turbonet.com<br>> To: the_ivies3@yahoo.com; vision2020@moscow.com<br>> Subject: Re: [Vision2020] love for police<br>> <br>> My view is that anyone should be able to join what ever group the want, union or otherwise. No one should be forced to join a union as a condition of employment. If individual members of the police force wanted to join a union they should have been able to. Those that do not want to should not be t required to do so.<br>> <br>> Roger<br>> -----Original message-----<br>> From: Tom Ivie the_ivies3@yahoo.com<br>> Date: Thu, 21 Jun 2007 14:56:06 -0700<br>> To: vision2020@moscow.com<br>> Subject: [Vision2020] love for police<br>> <br>> > I like the way everyone professes their gratitude to the police now but not when the police wanted to do something "radical" like unionizing.

They give and we take? Why can’t they give and we give back to them. Is the love for the police and hate (by some) for their unionization a mutually exclusive bipartition dichotomy or a logical fallacy?
