you are only "forced" to "work" for the union due to the collective bargaining already in place that labor can only freeload off of if they don't participate.The National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation offers free legal representation to workers whose unions refuse to let them resign and become partial-dues, financial-core represented workers. It can be reached on the Internet at National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation An amendment to the NLRA currently under consideration in Congress would extend right-to-work protections to workers in every state. If that were to become law there could be no compulsory union dues for any purpose in any state.
You are forced by unions, to work for the unions.
Andy, who forces a person to apply for a union job? Who keeps a person working a union job who wants to quit that job? No one is the correct answer.
You don't want to work for a union shop, don't apply there. But what I hear is that some workers don't mind working in a union job for the pay and protections. They just happen to be mooches who don't want to pay for the benefits extended to them by the union.
But NO ONE is forced to apply and work for a union shop. NO ONE. And NO ONE is stopped from quitting a union job. NO ONE.
So what is the problem with unions. They are duly elected organizations. Legal. And serve a good purpose for many workers. What is the problem with unions?
And why are the Republican so intent on union busting. What threat does a union represent to Republicans?
There is no such thing as a Union Shop. There are jobs, that have unions. But the Union doesn't own the shop.
That is a key point.
Because when I apply for a job... I apply to work for an employer.
Say General Motors for example. I want to work for General Motors. *IF* I want to work for General Motors, the Unions have FORCED me to work for them as well.
I never applied to work for the Union. Yet I am FORCED to do so, or I can't work for whom I do want to, namely General Motors.
The collective bargaining "agreement" is forced on the employer.
