Annual re-certification seems a bit excessive, and expensive.
Yea, expensive to the unions. If you wanted to work at a particular trade before Scott Walker, you had to join the union having your dues automatically deducted, no if ands or butts. Now the worker decides if he needs union representation. The union has to do the certification, the state just enforces the new law.
What I find stunning is how fast this all happened. It would have been last year but the statists pulled a last minute Judge’s ruling that was not struck down until after the certification date had passed.
Next year will be even more stunning, especially when the unions take a big hit in Michigan. This could very well be the start of the end to unions as we know them.
If unions have to spend money for such votes, they will have less to spend to support Democrats.
In what way?
Corporations have to have annual votes for the BoD. This should be essentially treated the same way. As to the expense, if unions have enough spare money lying around to throw into democrat political coffers, then they have money enough to run a recertification vote.
