Yes they do, because the union negotiates collectively for all workers at a site. You could always work at a place and not join the union, but you did have to pay for the cost of their negotiating on your behalf. Now, what could be better than getting union perks without paying for them? I'm sure that won't cause any friction on the factory floor.
do the non-union people get representation from the unions when they don't join/pay? if yes, that's not right. if no, then let the choice be made by the person, not the law. also, we've never been a democracy - that governor was elected to represent a bunch of people. like how land-owning white guys were the only ones that counted at first.
Interesting perspective. I'm sure Sly appreciates it. BTW I found your piece at www.MadisonRadio.com which is a slinging ground for Madison radio folks and old timers.
To compete with buying influence is with an organized counter-movement that works BETWEEN elections. We need an easier, more robust way to participate, solve problems, and hold politicians accountable. www.at10us.com
We are no longer a democracy when bills pass without public approval or vote. This was already denied in public vote, reworded by our Dictator (I mean, eh-hem, Governor and his minions) and passed without public polls. Michigan is falling apart, the government is corrupt, what will they do next?
