The key word possibly being "were"... we now have a lot of laws on the books that set limits to what an employer can do (and very few on what an employee can do[0]). These laws would all have to be repealed.
So you hear no talk of unionizing and everyone's happy. Where's the problem? You're not dealing with a union. Why do you object to unions so much?
I object to unions because I was in one, and it sucked. I don't care if others want to be in a union, just don't try to come in here and force me to join or leave my job... those kind of contract clauses should be illegal IMO. Also, I think too many people automatically think "union == good" without weighing the consequences, and once the union is there, getting rid of it is usually next to impossible.
Why should everyone else do without unions, when their employers aren't so enlightened?
