I love the ending of the article by Bill Leuders on Jan. 4. "An error left uncorrected after it is pointed out is no longer an error." It really hit the nail on the head.

The statements by Gov. Scott Walker about the freedoms union members don't have are ridiculous to say the least. First of all you don't have to work in a union shop if you don't want to. Second, when a union is formed it is voted on by all employees, so the majority rules, isn't that the way Democracy works?

The first two-thirds of my working history were in a union shop, I chose that job, and I was a union officer for much of that period. The second one-third of my history was in management of that same company. I guess I wasn't corrupt enough for the largest gas company in Wisconsin to think me not management material. I know it's hard for a "right to worker" to admit that unions are not the ruination of the world, but let's talk about the richest union in the United States, it's called the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. What about the American Medical Association, and the Governor's Association? Think about it rationally, organizations are the same thing as a union, joined together for the good of its membership, and by the way collecting dues.
