let ten thousand unions contend ?


  when 
its not just

"union or no union" 

 when its also

    "which union"

     watch out below .....
-------------------------------
 once again
   the spectre 
of dual unionism 
stalks the great american job site 


but fuck really folkz

is union competition bad ?

bad for who?

bad for unorged wagery? 

bad for orged wagery?

bad for unions ?

bad for ... profiteer corporations ?

this question
as you play thru the contradictions

turns out to have 
  a full string  
          of yes and no
               answers  

==================================
 

 part one :

 " hey mister manager
i'll get em to sign for less ?"


say  you got a target 

     you're after recognition

but there's a  preferment fight

another union 's ugly snout 

well
      you and 
 your  competition 
have  two very different
collective heads
  to wine  dine and swine 

not just 
 the prospective wagery's heads 
but their  kaps heads  too 

the bosses  have 
their preferences 

and the history 
    of this clash of interests 
 abounds with lessons 

in playing one union off on another
