It would be fiscally irresponsible to have a scheduled vote for union continuance, every year. It forces the union to bear an unnecessary cost. Simply stating requirements for union decertification would be sufficient.

And that comes from a union member, who would prefer not to be one.

That argument makes sense, but it is not the argument generally being presented. The argument generally being presented, especially by the protestors, looks more to me like ZOMG YOU'RE ATTACKING UNIONS AND WORKERS AND DRIVING US TO SLAVE WAGES AND FORNICATING WITH OUR UNDERAGE DAUGHTERS YOU FASCIST PEDOPHILE!!!

Out of curiosity, do you think a three, five, or ten year period between votes for continuance would be feasible?

I try to be reasonable, in my statements. It's one of the reasons why I'm not cut out for either government OR union work

If what I stated was done, then there would be no need for periodic votes, for the continuance of the union. An outside agency shouldn't be able to FORCE such a thing; it should be left to the members, in a given area/local.
