Removing the requirement to pay union dues does not eliminate the union, imho. The whole notion of collective bargaining in government employment needs to be OUTLAWED. PERIOD.
At the very least, employees should get to vote regularly (at least every two years) to keep the union, or shut it down. Where I worked at a state university, we NEVER had that option once we were unionized. I’m sure many who voted for the union originally would’ve loved to get back out when they saw what they’d be paying in dues.
Exactly .. and the other issue is NOBODY CAN GET FIRED.
First you have to file a grievance .. etc., etc., etc.
That can takes months and years. Finally, the person still does not get fired for committing any kind of crime.
They usually just get transferred.
THAT HAS GOT TO CHANGE.
AND .. ADD THE FACT THAT THESE UNIONS ARE THE FUNDRAISING ARM OF THE DEMOCRATS.
/echo. Glaring conflict of interest.
