Unions aren't allowed in Siberia. Does this means John holds the Soviet Union to be a example of how desirable a lack of unions is? I think the Soviet Union would quickly become a better place if free trade unions were allowed. David Rubin {allegra|astrovax|princeton}!fisher!david /* ---------- */ Sorry, but the SU does have a union. It's called the Communist Party. You don't have to be a member to work (but you do have to vote!), but you can't organize into another union (even if you're in another country). It's the kind of union that should make every union lovers heart warm. It runs the companies, so it sets wages, working hours, and benies. Of course, it also runs the country, but that's a detail. The Perfect Union.
