Oh Christ, Malibber. For those who've worked with and around unions know how things work. Say whatever you like, but the unions threaten people regularly with physical harm, and damage to their property. I private vote eliminates the ability for them to use threats.
Those who have lived around unions know the truth.Quote

Since Don Diego commented on this thread I'd love to hear how he feels about Coker Motors?Quote

Those who desire anything other than a secret vote wish for a union's ability to continue these threats.
