Re: Judge Strikes Down Wisconsin Law Limiting Union Rights
To a few, it is. How many partisan elections have you been a candidate in by the way.That's a serious restriction of rights as it is.
You aren't addressing a basic rights issue at all. You are whining over your unreasoned personal disapproval of certain among the judicially-approved ways in which basic rights have been implemented. In particular you are arguing the case for freeloaders -- turnstile-jumpers, tollbooth-runners, tax-evaders and others who seek out ways of shirking their legitimate obligations to pay. Put up a list of those who are obligated to pay for benefits they don't have access to. Until then, those who enjoy union-negotiated improvements in pay, benefits, and working conditions and still try to refuse to pay dues are nothing but worthless scumbag freeloaders. The law makes provision for those.Really? What basic right is being upheld when unions can deduct dues from paychecks? When they can collect dues from workers who are not union members? When they can work in a closed shop?
You mean like when experts of long-standing receive higher wages and a freer ear than talentless whiners and rookies? Here's a hint: It's like that everywhere.And what if union membership is not a benefit? What if instead it is more like a blood sucking parasite attached to the ordinary worker? What if the "benefits" accrue mainly to senior members and union leadership? Does not the ordinary worker deserve the right to shake off the parasite?
