I somehow feel great if Scalia is the swing vote. We’re not even talking here about private unions - if you don’t like them, you could go and work with a company that is not unionized. However, if you are a public employee, you have no choice whatsoever. I just don’t see ANY way that this could be considered fair.

To dream....
Now, if only Ohio were to become a “Right to Work” State along with Michigan. THAT would be crippling.
BTW, wanna piss off a liberal, remind them that it was LBJ who cast the deciding vote in the Senate mandating states rights to determine right to work status.

I love it and would be ecstatic if SCOTUS rules for Harris, could possibly turn out to be a massacre nationwide.

The correct, lawful, righteous thing to do, verses what USG has become in order to do, is so completely obvious. Evil thinks, conjures and does deception.

To add to the post, a quick primer on ‘Right to Work’:
A lot of people think unions are just workers banding together, so they can bargain as a group, etc. Well that’s sort of accurate in a right to work state - some construction workers unionize, and some don’t, etc.
But this is not true in a non right to work state. You have to join the union, in order to work in certain professions. There is no option. The union becomes a third party, which controls entire industries. The union decides who gets hired, promoted, can take vacation, etc - NOT the employer. Its evil to the core.

Exactly! In the private sector, one company may screw over their employees, and having the option to work for a similar company that has a union to protect them, makes sense (in theory)!
But, in public sector work, their is no job so specialized (except the DOD), that you would need a union to "protect you" from unfair competition! There is NO competition for public sector jobs - there is only ONE government! Each city, county, and state (even the Federal government) has only ONE government. So, why are they allowed to unionize?
So that Democrats can get subsidized! So that politicians can negotiate with OUR money, benefits, pay rates, and JOB SECURITY which cannot change without too much red tape and too much trouble and too much COST! They are designed to FORCE the taxpayer to pay and pay and pay - PERIOD!
ALL public sector unions should be SHUTDOWN! PERIOD!

And could also explain illegal immigration. The rats are losing the unions. Look at Keystone, several blue states goin RTW and now this.
They need to replenish the ranks.

Absolutely, in RTW states the employer runs their business, not the unions.
Public employees are employed by taxpayers and should not be required to support political causes of any kind through union dues.

I agree that could be the reason Rats are so hot on amnesty. There's 11 to 12 million admitted illegals here, it's probably more like 25 million, that's a lot of bucks in union dues.

Labor unions, like all the alphabet agencies are a scourge on the American people!
Even if we elect new politicians to change the direction of America, the bureaucracies of the agencies and the legal costs of fighting the unions usually make it not worth the time (sense in the case of union deals - even if you fire the worthless person, he still gets a helluva severance paycheck)!
This is how America slowly dies! Death by paper cuts brought about through our own self-made union and bureaucratic paper-filled HELL!!!
