Whenever employees vote not to organize with labor unions, I feel there is still hope out there. When a labor union is turned down by a 70/30 margin at a liberal bastion like Cornell University, it makes a real statement!

So what was it at Cornell that defeated unionization? Logic and individual freedom.

Union organizers had to jump through hoops, laying out the union benefits and costs to the Cornell students. In the end, they determined that the cost of organization was just too high.

Joseph J. Sabia, a Ph.D. candidate at Cornell, sums it up best by saying, "individual freedom is preferable to living under the tyranny of the majority."

I love that! I'm going to steal it, and I'm going to use it. Often.
