What makes union work relevant.

Thanks for the link.  I read Mike's post a few days ago and saw that Bill had replied.  I agree with his position and I hope that the association, both at the state and national levels can do more than give lip service to such a change.  His thinking reflects much of the discussion that has occurred here in Maine after the election - and before.  The election seems to have kicked it into high gear, however.  I would like to see this temporary political crisis push us into deep and lasting change, not just strategic adjustment.
