The concept of a “closed shop” is not new. What the professors need is a right to work law, which is also nothing new. The article makes it sound like this is something new, but these ideas have been clashing for more than a century. Too bad the professors at CUNY are so poorly educated. LMAO

Seems like an odd lawsuit to file. They’re not paying any dues to the union, so their only complaint is that they’re forced to belong to a union as a condition of their employment. I’m not sure I’d care enough to get out of the union.

Maybe these professors can form their own group and call it a “union.” They can even pretend this “union” negotiates all the things the real union does, if that makes them feel any better.

Right to Work won’t last long in democrat controlled states, here in Michigan it only lasted from 2012 to 2023 when Whitler repealed it.

“Should college professors be compelled to accept representation from an organization they loathe?, “”

You can bet these people were against the right to work laws conservatives got passed
