Why America Needs a National Right-to-Work Law

Labor unions are simply cartels, just like any other market cartel such as OPEC or the DeBeers diamond cartel. Our country has laws against anti-competitive behavior on the part of companies, but none against labor unions which do precisely the same thing.

1) I agree with a national Right to Work law, in fact a Constitutional amendment might be warranted

2) Outlaw government employee unions entirely

Unions are dead in the US

My brother worked for the Bush/Cheney campaign and he said while they were in Philadelphia for some event, it took members of at least four different unions to hook up a TV in their office. One guy had to drive the delivery truck, another carried the TV inside, another installed the wall-mount and yet another ran the CATV and electrical cables. He said that if any of them had so much as tried to help do the other's job, a fight would have broken out. An electrician can't even pick up a hammer without having a union grievance filed against him. Ridiculous.

“I agree that this is a state issue and should not be federalized.”

Why do you not understand that thye federal government imposed forced unionism on the states in the 1920s and 1930s. That is a federal law. Forced unionism is a federal issue. Get rid of it on the federal level and then let the states decide what they want to do.

I’m not opposed to the Feds abdicating a role that they wrongly assumed.
