Unionizing does indeed qualify as socialism. But that's not the issue.
The issue is spending money to hire them as a security measure. That act--hiring--is not socialism.
But after all the problems we have been forced to sholder over the unions and their constant, endless whining and bitching, stealing money from their members and funneling it right to the rats, class warfare smear campaigns, etc, I was very dissapointed when they were "federalized" Unionized.
And all these people who are hired are going to be union. That's just something we didn't need.
