    They hate unions? How much? I'm sure, not enough.

    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!
