Dear SBL Council:
...Here is the email I sent back:<br /><br />Dear SBL Council:<br /><br />I am an employer and my sympathies lie rather with the management in a union vs. management debate. I thought that the SBL was a “professional” not a “political” association. Therefore, I don’t understand how you can say that the membership of SBL respects the rights, dignity, and worth of all people –meaning the union workers, over against the rights, dignity and worth of owners and management. I think it would have been better if you had consulted the members about this move rather than simply announcing to us that you have decided to act in our name without an understanding of how we feel about it.<br /><br />This sort of political activism on the part of a so-called professional association bothers me. I don’t know that I want to renew my membership in the future.<br /><br />Sincerely, <br /><br />Peter W. Dunn, PhDPeter W.
