What we as a private profession shouldn't do is get in the middle of it because "unions good always and forever" as that is not the case. Do we want a system where everyone is in a union and it becomes a superpower politburo that blends the functions of corporate and political interests into one indistinguishable force? Public unions and private unions are 180 degrees different in concept. Lets not get so wrapped up in the banner of the concept that we lose sight of that.
