Nonsense. Unions are the antithesis of capitalism. What I meant by "Business is by its very nature "unionized"." was that businesses can already make their own decisions about how much to pay, who to pay, what regulations they may impose, etc. Unions merely balance out that inherent power. So for others to make cracks that "oh, maybe us rich folk should unionize."... well, that's absolutely ridiculous... you already have all the power in the world! Or do you actually think all employees can just decide where they can work, how much they should be paid and what benefits they should receive?? Well, maybe us programmers can, but that's why we don't have unions. - Zen
