I didn't join the clamor, but I do support unions. That said, there are
some things I won't do at all -- working for Big Tobacco and crossing a
picket line come to mind -- and others I'll do, but only if the alternative
is sleeping under a bridge while my cats starve. The people who you suggest
would "violate any of their beliefs for a job" are probably talking about
the second category.

It is interesting to see where others draw their own lines. The current dry
spell in my corner of the freelance market is making me look closer at
mine.
