The term is used more than one way. To some it only means that
you get paid (hopefully well paid) to do what you do, but it has little
do with the quality of your work, or what kind of attitude you have.
Sadly a lot of union people have this perspective. Non-union people
usually don't last very long with this approach.

How do you know everyone working for unions are lazy? Perhaps some of them
are people who want honest and fair work environments, and not have to deal
with the harassment and unfairness of a non union job?

Do you think the employees at Enron were happy that were in a non union job?
Do you think they were lazy?

While others think of it in the context of professionalism, and feel
that it is all about doing quality work, and having a good work
attitude and ethic. You don't even have to make any money to
be professional in the way you accomplish work you do.

Its the same attitude I have with CERM. Although I am not beign paid to
create bible curriculum, and mini sermons, its what I love doing, and I cant
wait to return to school, to start a Masters degree. I cant wait to dive
into the text deeper, and the depth I am looking for is only really found in
bible college or seminary. Or perhaps a fundamentalist church (and there
are very few of these in the hyper liberal area that I live at).

The best of both worlds is when you can put the two together.
