Then those whose free will/choice has been deined are subsequently taxed by a union that surreptitiously acquired signatures on cards through misreperentation wiggled itself into a postion of sole representation of these providers through their already chummy relationships with commissioners and elected officials. Is our freedom to say "no" revoked? JMHO: whether or not you have chosen this course for yourself isn't going to change my mind... I don't want to be taxed by any union whose methods and political stances in other issues go against the grain of my values. This whole thing, IMO, is not about securing better quality of care for children and supporting families in hard economic times- it is about raking in money and power for pre-existing union politics.
