This is an issue that many people are hesitant to discuss because many people feel very strongly about it. That is another reason that union elections need to be secret ballot. Apparently there is legislation in motion that would take away secret ballot union elections. I absolutely disagree with such legislation.

Jumper, you have a response.

But in actual practice in the workplace, these things need to be secret ballot.[/b]
Thanks ColoAvs - I appreciate your honesty.

To be PERFECTLY honest, I&#39;m incredibly torn. I know the Union has helped me in one very difficult and petty incident, and yet by the same token, the knowledge that for the next several years I&#39;m always going to be getting the dregs of everything because of my hire date. I won&#39;t even touch the pay raise issue, but you know it&#39;s a painful spot for all of us.

*sigh*

We&#39;ll see....
