Are you a member of a union?

A unionized student body seems strange to me. A union is organized to support the interests of labor, and if management is unfair, then the union withholds its labor causing economic damage to management. A union of student workers fits that model. What does a union of students withhold that damages the school management? Students are more like customers than workers, so they might boycott, but that's not the same as a strike.

Why in God's name are students unionized?

Why shouldn't we be?

Because we shouldn't be in charge of the university?

Well yeah, that's the point. People who are "in charge" don't need a union. People who aren't do.

I was a member of the teacher's union for a few years. I got out of it because I had to fork over too much cash and all they did was spend it on electing politicians to office that I really did not like. My older brother is a lawyer so if I ever need legal representation he is there to help me. I do not think teacher's unions are the spawn of Satan like a lot of libertarians but I feel that they are limited in what they can actually do for teachers, at least in Iowa.
