[QUOTE="Thomas Rogers, post: 956482, member: 60724"] Frank, Yes, to a great extent I do agree with Les and in particular his use of the word servitude. Let's consider one of the Merriam Webster definitions for servitude, which I provide below: Now, how does that apply? Well, consider the following. The keywords above are "one", and "determining one's course of action." Union membership by its very principle takes away individuality, removing the sense of "one." Likewise, it strips the individual of their ability to determine their own course of action (again, as an individual) when it comes to labor and employment issues. A union member becomes indebted to the union (pays dues), gives up freedom's in the process, and must follow the rules, regulations and orders of that organization. Now, of course, you can disagree with these comparisons, as is your right. Are they wrong? Nope. They are comparisons. Agree with them, rate them if you will, discuss them, disagree with them, but they are reasonable comparisons to make, nonetheless. Oh, and I love the way some of you throw around the F-word (fact); as if labeling your opinions as such somehow makes it so. TJR [/QUOTE]
