Is to get one agreement with one group of employees, which we do by having one union. Its a democratic process. The employees get to pick that union. And because its a democratic process, almost its almost guaranteed that not everyone will agree with all the positions that are taken by the union that represents the majority of employees. From the employers point of view, we need to get a contract, is to have one representative that can speak with one voice for all those disparate people. Now, i ...

And it is fun, and people like it. But, and this is my experience with political ca...
