(and your "they don't have to work here" is too wrong on too many levels to even merit an answer)

To be honest, I had forgotten that we were talking about public sector unions (which I view very differently from private sector unions), but my point stands. I’m no more hating on individual workers who don’t want to be included in, and help pay to negotiate, a collective bargaining agreement than I am when talking about childless people complaining about school district taxes or homeowner association members complaining about everyone using the same guy to mow their lawns.
And it’s interesting to me that people on a internet bulliten board thingy started to negotiate in a way for uniform and higher employee wages would argue that collective action is bad.
And we all paid for that service by having to see ads on our Yahoo and Infirm pages. IIRC, no one (not even Know Won) argued that they should get the benefit of the board without having to see any ads.

Still a great song.
