You do realize that the Employee Free Choice Act will mean more work for you, right? I’m impressed by the apparent selflessness shown by so many firms in opposing that law. Maybe you represent those clients in so many areas you really do have that kind of total concern.

Yes, the few remaining trad labor jocks will dominate, but they won’t be able to keep up with the demand, and people in other employment-related fields are the natural on-deck candidates.
