| Message | You forget that if a union WANTS to hold ballots, they can; they simply are not REQUIRED to. Kind of reminds me of regulation of market. Hmm. |

| Message | What's the difference between what we currently have, which is guaranteed they will have votes, and your "ideal" situation in which unions will be required to have votes? It seems like there's a guarantee with one and a hope with the other. I personally would prefer the guarantee. |

| Message | The difference is that the unions CHOSE. Democracy; freedom; choice. That is the difference. |

| Message | Or the union could make a rule for themselves requiring ballots; it is their choice. |
