This is my big beef with unions.

If they were a) not tax supported and more importantly b) had to earn their keep, I'd have no complaints.
I see your point but it's not exactly the same. As has been thrown out by others in this thread about Wal-Mart (and Jammies, I could not agree more with your post on that subject), if you don't want to be a part of the union, then vote with your feet and find another job.

Now, again, I agree with many of you in that I am opposed to the existence of many unions - I hope this doesn't make me a hypocrite (I need mine but you don't need yours) - but some workplaces I don't feel need to be unionized. I'm probably making an ass of myself for making that argument.
