Can you be in a civil union with one person and married to another since the two types of unions are distinct?
No. In states where same-sex civil unions or marriages have been legalized, what you are describing is a crime for which you can be prosecuted (bigamy). Whichever event took place second is considered a fraudulent attempt at marriage or civil union and was never legal, not even before it was discovered. In states where same-sex civil unions or marriages have NOT been legalized, you are not in a civil union, you are only married. Your civil union is legally nullified upon crossing the state line.

What were some good and bad things about the Union?
I believe Unions are a good thing, but Unions started when people would stand up for each other. Today it seems people care more about themselves then standing up for their coworkers at times. When I have been in a conversation with someone that does not like Unions, I ask if they are married. If they are, I say a Union is just like a marriage; you stand up for this person and help this person out. You give them encouragement when they need it. Unions are no different than a marriage other than you work with that person. Then there are the people who hate Unions and what I see are these people showing that they are selfish and do not care about anyone else but themselves. They will work behind closed doors to negotiate deals with their boss that other coworkers would not be able to get. They wish to complain about the Union, that the Union does not do anything for them. When actually they are the "UNION", they wish to complain knowing that they will not do anything about the problem that they are complaining about. People who whine do not do anything.
Can you have both a civil union and a marriage at the same time?
Yes and no: yes, if your civil union and marriage are both to the same person; no if they are to different people and both are recognized in your state. If you are in a state where your civil union is not recognized and you are married to a different person (presumably one of the opposite sex), then your civil union does not legally exist, only your marriage does.

How unions help workers?
Unions help workers because it represents the voice of the masses instead of just one person who could be punished for speaking out. Unions help workers get raises, protect them from being fired unjustly, or treated unfairly. Unions are a force to be reckoned with especially where strikes are concerned. :) Katie
