Quote:The odds arent looking so good for this forum right now. And remember, unions rarely ever hold a ballot longer than a work day or 24 hours
You also need to remember that few unions have secret ballots. (at least they didn't when I was a rabid unionist)
In those days I was young and naive,fully supporting the notion of the closed shop (no union ticket,no start) That was before I discovered just how corrupt some union officials can be.
I also discovered the depth of bad faith with which BOTH sides usually negotiate. However, I remain a strong union supporter ,based one simple principle; If workers could trust their employers,unions would not be necessary.
