Wow, lots of good stuff on both sides. I actually watched the interview between Dean and Mathews and it was enjoyablebut pointless, since this is a states issue, not one for the federal government.
I live in a right to work state, where I have been both a "worker" and in management. I have also worked with Unions on political and lobbying issues in the past. My ultimate feeling is that Unions have played a vital and essential role in the history of the United States. I think that they have every right to exsist and to pursure their own goals. However, I as a worker, should be able to join or not join a group if I choose. I, as an employer, should be able to hire someone if I think they are qualified, whether or not they belong to a union. Forcing unions on people or banning them begins to step on my personal freedoms. I like the concept of a right-to-work state, and if the Unions are truely needed (as they were in the past) they will survive.
