Hear hear. The reason why unions was created was to get respect for the work the people did and a a peice of the action that they helped to create. You do that and unions are unneeded. Unions have helped to make sure that we have a better working enviroment today and that we let our kids be kids and not coal miners.

The unions today have become somewhat lazy and bloated (like Vista) and what we need is something slimmer and better (Like Ubuntu). They shouldnt tell us what to do (like Microsoft) but let us tell them what to do (like OpenSource).

I do support some union actions like the Writers guild strike. They have every right to get money for what they create but moving in like the mob on some companies I do not approve of.

Vandals have what is known as sock-puppets, multiple accounts in order to vote several times. Obvious ones (such as those who voted in their first few edits) are caught, but there are much more sneaky ones. There was one such user who made over 12,000 edits before being banned as a sock puppet of another banned user, but most of the time, editing for a few weeks with another account will make a convincing sock puppet.
