Are you now, or have you ever been a member of . . .?

Oh, Dan, playing the Union Card?  Or the Fear Card, as some might call it:

Coody said he thinks the city's fire and police departments will likely become unionized if Jordan is elected. The city of Fayetteville must maintain control of its own taxes, revenue and budget, he said.

"If police and fire unionize, they'll have the ability to do collective bargaining,"he said. "It would eventually have to extend to all 730 city employees. We don't want to take the lead of so many other cities that are declaring bankruptcy to meet union demands."
