Let me state up front that I am absolutely, adamantly, passionately against unionizing our industry in any way...

If the gun were held to my head and I was forced to join the union or give up paying the mortgage, I'd want a guarantee of telecommuting. It's the dumbest thing in the world that I'm expected to bring my happy shining face into the office so that I can spend the entire day with it pointed at a monitor, working on machines and processes that are located in another building, just so some manager can walk by and see the back of my head which somehow gives him a warm & comfy feeling of security. If the union could give us that, the other 99% of the suck that it would bring would suck a little less. As to guaranteed pensions... no, I think that's one of the worst things the unions have done to companies, look at American automobile manufacturers. But, some more vacation time would be nice. I've been at my current company long enough to qualify for three weeks, but four would be too sweet (and is more than two years away if I stay here).
