Interesting isn't it that Unions are all about the workers right to choose, yet...when choice is offered......?
(What I find even more interesting is, the Union thug who wanted the guy to "back the fuck off" who was simply asking a valid question....is wearing an AT&T hat....a company that 4 years ago laid off 50,000 employees in a cost cutting measure, moreover....the hat is made in China).
Unions are NOT about a worker's right to choose - they are about having a single voice at the bargaining table to negotiate wages and working conditions.
Oh, but suddenly the GOP got religion about "choice". Like a woman's right to choose an abortion. Or being able to choose your spouse if you're gay. Or women being able to choose birth control... The hypocracy of the GOP is nauseating.
This is a last, desperate gasp of a dieing political party. What's left of the Old White Guys will become even more extreme and irrelevant. Maybe then we'll see a strong, progressive 3rd party emerge that can demonstrate true leadership.
So many people forget the lives lost when the union movement 1st came into being and so many more forget that unions created a strong, prosperous middle class. We should not be engaged in a race to the bottom. Rather, we should be working to raise standards around the world. That is what a leader would do.

Uhmm.....Daaaaaaave.....unions have been losing ground for 40 years. This is hardly a last gasp, rather, a breath of fresh air.
Tell me....how is it that the voters in a state like Michigan allowed such a thing?
(Probably because they too figured it out).
