No one denied you or anyone else any choice whatsoever and no one is even attempting to deny you or anyone else any choice whatsoever... unless you see stating some of the positive aspects of unions as an attempt to take away choice.
IMO, you are the one acting like a "Republican" with your all or nothing approach to most issues.
Actually, that's not true. In most states, if a company is unionized, the employees working there ARE denied the choice to join or not join the union. In fact, the law and the unions DO deny people a choice.
It would seem that English is a mystery to YOU. I suggest you look up the word "choice" in the dictionary since you obviously do not understand what that word means.
My position is that I support unions, and I support what they do. However, I do not believe that employees should be forced to join a union against their free will.
I am surprised by the lot of you here that you are defending the practice of forcing people to do something against their free will.
"Freedom of Choice" is not a left wing/right wing thing. It's something we should all want and strive for.
Just because the particular issue (unions) is something that we liberals like is not a good reason for us to be hypocrites. Either we believe in Freedom of Choice, or we don't. We cannot pick and chose which causes it shall apply for and which ones it shall not. If we are principled, then it has to apply to all situations.
Many of you here are defending unions. And I agree with you.
We should have unions. Where I disagree with you is that all employees MUST JOIN THE UNION, whether they want to or not.
