I am not one to completely ignore the causes of the interests today that are opposed to my political party's goals.
One is the primacy of union politics. I am a Jew who has been an American for the 4th generation in my family.
I am one who was taken out of bondage to be free.
When I got to my job in Florida, I was told I had to join a union.
Now if I had pursued work that always required a union, I would have conceded that a Union is the way for me and my interests are clearly served by being in a union.
This is not the case in Medicine.
The residents and interns in Florida were governed by a Union named the Council of Interns and Residents, CIR.
I did not wish to join but it was a mandate and of course, I submitted my dues and participated.
I was not happy that there were tensions in the program due to union politics.
I was also not happy that I was only in a program for 3 years and need collective bargaining to be mandated to establish my own needs in a short period of time where most programs around the nation need no union politics and usefulness. I just do not see that a short career requires collective bargaining. Afterall, there are universal laws requiring our work hours today, the issues with resident pay are still not the biggest contention and overall, I am one to think that medical professionals are professionals and can cooperate at different levels of administration.
I was forced to join the union and I am at this day very reluctant to support a total Union Rights environment.
I am well to concede that we need unions in many of our work places.
I am not one to believe that they should be manditory for every citizen.
