So what do you all think? Good, bad, indifferent? Does this make sense to you or none at all?

In a classic example of why America sucks, working people have turned against unions. So, the only reason workers have anything is now something they routinely villify. The folks at Faux News and the WSJ couldn't be happier, and they keep the beat as poor people sing "death to unions." But, nothing lasts forever, not even ignorance, and the collective consciousness raising of the last few years along with rulings like this bode well for unions, and in turn workers.
