    When Jimmy carter deregulated the industry, operating rights became almost useless, many companies had rights leveraged, banks called the notes in bankruptcy was the result. Also percentage wise just as many non union companies went bankrupt at the same time, numbers are smaller because there was fewer of them.

    Guys, I KNOW that opinions on Unions run the gambit and many of those opinions are pretty passionate. And, that folks have experiences with Unions that, once again, run the gambit. It shouldn't take a rocket scientist to figure out which side of the fence I am on.

    I wasn't trying to start a debate of pro verse anti Union. I was simply asking about being questioned regarding previous Union involvement during a job interview. I honestly did not know if it is a complete non-issue or was a routine inquiry.

    I thank you for the feedback. From what I have gathered, it is unlikely to be brought up, but not unheard of either. Probably depends upon the company's culture whether it is a concern.

    You're welcome to debate back and forth all you want about pro or anti Union. But, I doubt you'll accomplish anything more than wasted keystrokes. If you have enough of an opinion to opine on this topic, you are most likely to ingrained in that viewpoint to be swayed by a post on an internet forum. One of the reasons you don't see me trying to argue any of my pro Union sentiment.

    In the end, simply, Thank You for sharing in regards to my original question. It is appreciated!

    Terry!
