Of course unionizing is perfectly all right.  I, an evil Smith wannabe,
only complain under two conditions.  The first is that when unions elect
to strike, instead of merely leaving, they often choose to turn the dispute
into a violent confrontation with their replacements.  The second is that
employees who want nothing to do with a union are in some jurisdictions
forced to be members, pay for them, and thence experience undeserved
penalties in cases of lockouts.

Interesting - my understanding of the somewhat misleadingly named issue
`right to work' dealt with laws that, shudder, allow employees in a
union shop to work there without belonging to (and paying for) the union.
It's a `right to work in spite of the union'.
