Mike,
Terrific commentary! Especially the part about all union contracts being negotiated in full public view. I just forwarded this to my local media contact list, which is gradually being rebuilt after my hard drive disaster last year. That list is below, for anyone else who is interested. I suggest using it somewhat judiciously, so the recipients don't block you or demand to be taken off your list. And if anybody else has contact info for media outlets or members of the press not listed here, please send it to me!
For liberty,
