The source is a pro-union source.
“The plaintiff in Janus asks the Supreme Court to declare these agency fees unconstitutional, at least in contracts involving public sector unions, under what can charitably be described as an aggressive reading of the First Amendment.”
I’m not familiar with this case. But I can imagine Republican workers contributing their time (evenings and weekends) to a Republican candidate, only to see their money (forced union dues) going to the opposing Democratic candidate. I think the Beck (1988 Supreme Court decision) addressed that, but was never enforced.
To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women. Ok, I get it.
Even that Commie Franklin Delano Roosevelt opposed public sector unions.
Why do unions need funds to negotiate contracts?
The states have never amended the Constitution to expressly protect unions regardless what union bullies probably want low-information members to think.
So if all Supreme Court justices respected the 10th Amendment, which they take an oath to do when they swear to protect and defend the Constitution, then we’d probably be seeing more relevant Supreme Court cases concerning unions and everything else decided unanimously in the states’ favor.
And if we had a Congress that actually respected state sovereignty then we’d have a state sovereignty-respecting Supreme Court sooner than “we” might think.
So patriots need to pink-slip as many incumbent members of Congress as they can in the 2018 elections, replacing them with state sovereignty-respecting patriots who will support Trump’s vision for MAGA.
In the meanwhile, patriots need to make sure that there are plenty of state sovereignty-respecting patriots on the primary ballots.
Bad memories?
You are on the right track.
It is a leftist myth that all workers have common interests.
That myth does not survive contact with the real world.
A long story, but let’s just say free-market economists and college teacher unions don’t mix. After $50K in legal bills and a fun 2 years leading to a favorable Arbitration when I politely refused to the Union — I did get my position back.
I can laugh now, but at the time it was unpleasant (and eye-opening) to say the least. They really are a bunch of collectivist jerks - stupid, too....
We need a go fund me page to raise enough money to buy him.
I sure hope so.
and make the commie bastards collect their own dues too!
Roberts, our Mclame on the Supreme Court.
GOOD!
The union-thug bureaucRATs always "collectively bargain" against the taxpayers....who never have a seat at the table.
Awesome. The feds, in particular, need to disbanded...
The case that needs to be brought is that no union can contribute to a politician who can vote, approve or negotiate their pay or benefits or working conditions. That’s where the conflict of interest is.
Elizabeth Warren (Fauxahontas) has intorduced a bill in Congress that would BAN RIGHT TO WORK states.
That has to die & quickly.
