I've never worked at a place that had a union so I guess I'm in the group that Sharon refers to. However, I don't think that automatically makes me unsympathetic or automatically makes me see the issue as unimportant.

I actually see the issue as VERY important. But I also separate that view from my decision to act. I do that because I see many, many issues as important and I have to select from them all which ones I actively support. So please forgive me if this particular issue does not rise high enough on my personal list of causes.

Looking at Coho in general and the US organization specifically, I wonder if this issue rises close enough to the top of the organization's list of issues for the organization to act on it. From the discussion so far I would say probably not. At least my sense is that we are not close to consensus.
