Once again you both show your prejudices and your ignorance of these laws.

Unions don't oppose right to work laws, they oppose unfair right to work laws. These laws are not about workers rights, they are about undermining democracy. You see, in this form of government, there are many things one must do that they don't want to. I would prefer not to pay taxes to support a war I don't believe in. I would prefer not to pay taxes to pay the wages of right wing legislators who consistently vote against my best wishes. But in our form of government, I must go along with the majority. That is the way it is. You don't get to pick which laws you follow.

The law of this land, in order to provide for commerce to flow freely, (that's right folks, labor law is based on free flow of commerce)says that if a majority of the workers vote to have a union, then the union is the official collective bargaining representative. The employer must deal with that rep. That is done in a democratic, government supervised, secret ballot vote. All employees must follow the wishes of the majority and join the union, or if they choose not to join, then pay a service fee. Why? Because the union is obligated to represent them, and they get the benefits, such as health insurance, pension, and representation, just like everyone. There are costs associated with this.

So right to work laws, on their face are unfair. Why? Because these laws are always passed with a provision that says the union must still represent these folks even if they are not members. That's right, even if they choose not to belong or pay dues, we must still represent them. There in lies the answer to what these laws are really about. I would prefer not to have these laws, but if they said that one could choose not to be a member and they are on their own, then fine. But in right to work states, let's say someone decides they don't want to join the union. Then the boss fires them, or decides not to give them a pay raise, or screws with their schedule. Do I, as the union rep, have to respresent them and fight for them? You would think not. That would be fair. But the right to work laws say I must still represent them, even though they haven't paid cent one in dues. That means the folks that are members have to subsidize those who choose not to contribute their fair share.

These laws are not about fairness or democracy. They are about breaking unions and denying workers democracy in the workplace. Why does the right fund this big organization know as Right To Work? Because it means more in their pockets and less for the people who make the product.

Once more, Old Guy and DougR show their true colors.
