I agree...  This discussion was had on BLU recently as well, and the
only idea that I think came out of that discussion which made sense
was to have such an organization as a lobbying agency to the
legistlature.  I do think this makes some sense.  But I'd prefer that
such an organization had only that as its charter, without all the
other nonsense I've seen from organized labor.
