[QUOTE="PrairieGhost, post: 207421, member: 704"] I only knew two people who belonged to the union. Not many do. I always thought it was to protect employees from the crazies above them. Maybe not. It wasn't anything I would have joined. I don't like unions. That's what you think. Here is what I know: they formed for people to keep abreast of current research and management techniques. Once a year biologist gather so they can better understand how their field of expertise fits into the overall picture, and what perhaps they didn't understand about other aspects. I'll give you an example. A very good wetland biologist who had gathered as much data as possible couldn't understand why wetlands didn't act in a manner he would expect. Then at a Wildlife Society meeting he listened to a man who was one of the North American authorities on hydrology. Long story short they joined with the biologist and with the hydrology included everything became understandable. It simply furthers science and you don't have people going about a specialized field blind to the other scientific fields. That is the purpose and it's funded by membership. Not much money involved. The people are volunteers and are not paid. Also, a society differs from something like the Wildlife Federation. A society is a group of professionals while the Wildlife Federation is anyone who may be interested. [/QUOTE]
