First off, I love unions. I'm in a public employee's union. I believe all workers for any big institution should be in a union. Having said that, I get a warm fuzzy feeling whenever SPOG loses. Conservative politics aside, their total arrogance gives my union and the other public unions a bad name. Glad to see once and awhile they have to live in the real world like the rest of us.
I love the tic of appending the "conservative" epithet to "cop union". The cognitive dissonance of being anti-(cop) union must burn.
If the Boeing Machinists Union were fighting to keep its outside counsel, or any perk, you'd be giving them blowjobs every day on this blog and every week in your paper. There's nothing "conservative" about a union doing everything it can to help its membership. It's the point of a union.
I think the problem is that nobody at the Stranger is in a union, so their grasp of the concept is purely hypothetical.
@5 This is the same union that puts out newsletters about how much they like beating hippies. They want this title, it's not something they'd protest, they wear it on their badges with them most of the time.

And just when I was starting to get over my November schadenfreude.
