What you must realize is that most unions represent the Blue Collar workers of the US. Not your average VP or AVP with an educational and professional background. BUT if something isn't done both by the workers and the administration about this I'm afraid all our technical knowledge and IT resources will be come non-existent and we will be giving toooo much power to non-American interests.

Hello Bobbee,
Sorry for continuing on the off-topic..
There is something common and unfortunate in all unions I heard about from my buddies and relatives who happened to join them: after a little while a union is going to take advantage of its hard working members much more efficiently than the employer.
So, unless you are going to leave the technical side and join the dark one (meaning -- union administration), a union may not be a beneficial idea for you. For some intermediate form, though, take a look at http://www.freelancersunion.org/. I am not saying they are not like all others unions (and I am not a member myself, I am permanent as of now), but at least they do not have (and supposedly won't have any soon) an exlusive with any employer/trade of type "union job".
