    If there was a "union" in each congregation to protect the witnesses from the Watchtower ,that would be nice.

    You could negotiate certain things, like number of meetings a week, and hours in the field service.

    What would you like to see negotiated?

    Regardless of what is being negotiated, I would like to see negotiations break down and see all JWs picketing their kingdom halls and burning their briefcases,watchtowers, and suits on the front lawns.

    One of the things that always bothered me - too many rules and regulations about what you could and couldn't wear in the KH. Women should be able to wear trousers, men shouldn't have to wear suits and ties. I remember poor, single mothers having to buy jackets for their young boys before they were allowed on the platform to give a Bible reading. Ridiculous!!

    JH, and other JWD readers, have any of you formed a union or belonged to one and been active in it?

    Unions don't just appear and the "employers" don't just sit back and let it happen. It would be nice if they did just happen but unions today exist because people have fought and suffered, sacrificed.

    I'm not aware of any unions within church organizations. If there are, it would be interesting to know and have an URL.

    As a union member I can attest that the Watchtower's rigid rule system resembles a union. However, within a union there is room for dissent, and if you don't like the way things are you can attempt to overthrow the ruling body.
