George,
        Good point. I take it you are essentially non-union? In your first 
scenario, that would be the strength of the union...PR is important to 
business, right? But the second scenario is showing how you could shoot 
yourself in the foot by unionizing. 
        It does sound like a gamble when you put it that way.
I really appreciate different points of view. Thanks for replying.
                                Mike
