Well, you're right. For example, if unions were to guarantee quality in, say, homebuilding, then they would still be useful. There are many unions that are trying to do just that and market it (esp the carpenter's union). The problem is, they don't deliver. And they don't because they refuse to police themselves, i.e., getting rid of poorly performing workers. I'm a great example of someone who would gladly pay a premium for union workers if I knew that, in hiring them, it would get done right the first time and exceed my expectations. I come from a union family, have worked in them, managed them, and most of my relatives and friends are union workers. None of them (save my father-in-law) disagree with me. So, while unions COULD be useful, they're not. But I'm open to examples of union success .... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Enterprise web applications, build robust, secure scalable apps today - Try it now ColdFusion Today ColdFusion 8 beta - Build next generation apps Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:243302 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
