[QUOTE="Thomas Rogers, post: 565316, member: 60724"] I agree with everything you say, Rocco. But consider your last question: What about those jobs and industries that are almost exclusively union, and closed shop? Wouldn't that make "employment elsewhere" a little difficult? Also, another question. Given that there are open and closed union shops, what is the rationale behind a closed shop? In other words, if being a union member has it's benefits and those benefits more than outweigh the costs (dues, etc), why would one have to be forced to be a member? Before you answer, recognize that I heard the argument stated prior that one should be required to be a member because they are getting the benefits of the union, but that clearly isn't necessarily the case for an open shop, and surely any shop that had a few non-union members could "go-it-alone" in arbitrations and benefits negotations. So, the question is, if unions are so "great for the member", why not make it optional (why are their closed shops)? Playing Devil's advocate here.... TJR [/QUOTE]
