Wow...Gruss is being dense today. The policies did not exist when a lot of these people (including myself) started working there AD these policies were not changed by the company for which we worked, they were changed by an outside group. If it was the company who cahnged the rules or the rules were in place, I would be in total agreement with you, but in this case (and it is one that has really soured me towards unions) that was not what happened. The policies were chanegd by the union, not the company, the union.
you contend that if a majority of the employees voted for the union then this is OK and if the others do not like it they can look for work elsewhere. So, if a majority of the employees in a company vote that its ok to tell racist/sexist jokes than they should be allowed to do so, and anyone who does not like it should be told to look for work elsewhere? Is that how its supposed to work? That attitude remionds me of some things that were said by Thomas Jeffereson: All, too, will bear in mind this sacred principle, that though the will of the majority is in all cases to prevail, that will to be rightful must be reasonable; that the minority possess their equal rights, which equal law must protect, and to violate would be oppression. And A democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where fifty-one percent of the people may take away the rights of the other forty-nine.
