"Freedom of Choice"

You have left out the right of the employees to pick the union of their choice. If the incumbent union is not what the members want then they have every right to throw them out and select another one. Don't spin change the officers because the issue goes beyond that. It does not matter whether its an AFL-CIO or an independent union, if they suck...the employees have the right to throw them out. They are paying for the show not the other way around.

Democracy rules not the labor union
