Well it's official, we now have a union. When the proposal first came up it was defeated by a massive margin but, like herpes, they just wouldn't go away. They have since found a loophole (a card signing campaign) and have forced their way in. I have no problem with this except I can't opt out of it. I can forfeit my membership but they'll still take my money. My issue is with all the hardcore NDP-types who keep whining that unions aren't in enough corporations to protect employess. Why isn't there a movement to protect employees from unions?
