I would like to see these changes.  

1. No more taking unions dues out before guys are paid.    Each member writes a check for dues.  

2. Membership voluntary so people can negotiate their own deal.

3. Unions can not do any policital lobbying/campaigning.    They can make recommendations on which candidates to donate towards.   Then members donate themselves.    

4. No federal employee should even have the option to be in a union .

eh, I'd disagree. Do some lazy guys get protected by unions? Sure. But they also get protected by nepotism, favoritism, racism, and a half dozen other isms. If youve ever worked a nonunion job with more than 10 coworkers, youve asked yourself at least once how half of them still have a job.

that's got nothing to do with unions, but everything with an abundance of stupid people. If anything, sometimes unions get those guys out as they're dangerous to other workers.
