Kudos to the good congresspersons!
I've never been a fan of unions but ever since I was forced to pay dues to an union I chose not to belong in (as a grad student teaching undergrads) I've positively disliked them.
They called the 1% they pocketed from my meager teaching fees "agency fee".
To add insult to injury, they kept sending my little postcards with message going something like this: "since you are paying agency fee, you might as well should just join the union."
So I say, fuck them all!
