You’re not making a lot of sense. Do you really believe workers, any of them should be forced to pay dues to an organization they want nothing to do with?

Voluntary is fine, but in Wisconsin, after Act 1 gave teachers the option of belonging to the union or not, over 2/3 of the opted not to. That’s what should come next.

Praise God (YHVH)! _public_unions_ most be completely terminated. Public servants, serve the people; they should _never_ be unionized. Like it or get a real job.

So why should government employees get the option not to pay the bosses?

Read, if you can, the article. It plainly states why.

The courts should force the unions to return the money paid, with interest.

Thank you Bruce Rauner

One of the few Illinois Governors that didn’t land in jail also landed a devastating blow against public sector unions.

The courts should force the candidates who pocketed the money to return it (with interest).

This situation is particularly disgraceful with public employee unions; they’ve ruined NJ, NY, CA, IL...

How about a class action lawsuit to get back all of their previous dues that they were forced to pay?

In Salem, Oregon, SEIU is selling their headquarters. Can no longer afford it.

I still remember from 50 years ago when my union boss put salt into the paint I was using to paint a ship.

Y’all didn’t catch my sarcasm. But that’s okay because it’s all written in plain text. Obviously I do not want the politically activist union leadership to benefit by (and squander) the money of workers being FORCED to pay. I am actually sympathetic to one argument made for it, which is that those who come later after unions have done the hard work paving the way for them to benefit, but just like any organization except those that are run with the utmost diligence and focus, their lifecycle involves descending into either massive inefficiency and bloat, or top-down corruption and exploitaton, or both. So why should everyone be forced to contribute to that.
