| Message | Some people don't like unions though. You have to pay fees and whatnot for them. I like it the way it is now. |

| Message | Yes, but if unions don't represent the entire workforce then they can't express the views of the entire workforce, and I know from personal experience that union fees are very low. If people don't like the established unions, they can form a new one! |
