I personally find phrases like 'right to work' a bit asinine, but if you're physically able to work, by all means you have the right to it.
What does that mean?
"...you have the right to it"
In the legal sense it means you have the right to "not join or quit a union" and still keep your job if the workers there are represented employees. You only see that in "Right To Work" states.
On the other hand, in "Closed Shop" states joining a union is a condition of employment if the employees are represented.
But even in "Closed Shop" states it still means you have the right to work anywhere you wish though.
That's why the term "Right To Work" is very misleading.
No, it's not, for reasons I explained in the OP.The premise of the question in the OP is rediculous.
As for whether or not Unions care about non-union workers I can only re-post and point to the facts.
Unions benefit all of America’s workers and strengthen our communities.
Unions today:
Reinforce the middle class and lift up America’s communities. States with higher rates of unionization have lower rates of poverty, crime, and failing schools.
Benefit local economic development. In partnerships with employers, community organizations, and local governments, unions have helped revitalize local economies by saving and expanding family-supporting jobs.
Raise wages for all workers. Studies show that a large union presence in an industry or region can raise wages even for non-union workers.
Fight for all workers’ health and safety. In 2008 the AFL-CIO and the United Food and Commercial Workers sued to get employers to provide personal protective equipment. Now, workers in hazardous jobs which require safety gear—like hard hats or protective glasses—must be provided this equipment, instead of being asked to buy it themselves.
Advocate for increases in the minimum wage and push for living wage ordinances. Unions have been instrumental in efforts to increase the federal minimum wage, state minimum wages and in the successful living wage movement which has already resulted in over 150 local living wage laws nationwide.
Reduce wage inequality. Unions raise wages the most for low- and middle-wage workers and workers without college degrees.
I personally find phrases like 'right to work' a bit asinine, but if you're physically able to work, by all means you have the right to it.
Unless you are a NON union person applying for a job in a "union shop" and do not want to join the union.
The best thing Reagan did, and what most pissed off the left, was he said it was okay to be proud to be an American again.I guess the only correct answer would be that there's a reason they're called ILLEGAL aliens.
But I'll also say I'm very suspect of anyone who would use a Ronald Reagan quote in their sig line. Isn't he the guy who raised taxes at least 7 times and still managed to send this nation down a path of massive deficits?
The man whose presidency was marked by multiple scandals, resulting in the investigation, indictment, or conviction of over 138 administration officials, the largest number for any US president at the time?
The man whose scandals include Iran-Contra, Department of Housing and Urban Development grant rigging, Lobbying scandal, EPA scandals, Inslaw Affair and Savings & loan crisis?
Reagan was nothing more than a two faced liar yet you think enough of him to emulate him?
Interesting indeed!!

I guess the only correct answer would be that there's a reason they're called ILLEGAL aliens.
But I'll also say I'm very suspect of anyone who would use a Ronald Reagan quote in their sig line. Isn't he the guy who raised taxes at least 7 times and still managed to send this nation down a path of massive deficits?

Didn't Michelle Obama get a lot of shit for saying the same thing?

Ok. Will do. But I noticed you couldn't dispute the facts.
Obama, for one. Perhaps you missed his "America Sucks!" World Apology Tour.And please show me a President who said it WASN'T okay to be proud to be an American? And link it please.
(If you can't do it an admission of error will suffice.)

Because you failed to ask in what nation.
On another thread, I asked a leftist union drone:
Who has a greater right to work -- an American non-union member, or an illegal alien union member?
Given your hatred of scabs, I expect you'd rather see an illegal alien union member with a job and the American non-union member unemployed.If you're referring to the U.S. perhaps you missed my earlier post where I opined, "I guess the only correct answer would be that there's a reason they're called ILLEGAL aliens".
But is there an issue with this?
i think the difference here was Ronnie was kinda saying it for everyone....while Michelle was talking about herself....The best thing Reagan did, and what most pissed off the left, was he said it was okay to be proud to be an American again.I guess the only correct answer would be that there's a reason they're called ILLEGAL aliens.

They also demand outrageous wages that drive companies overseas, take the steel industry. Illegal immigrants do not deserve any benefit from this country because they are ILLEGAL!!! Pretty easy answer actually.The premise of the question in the OP is rediculous.
