“You are going to see a lot of this; unless you neuter the unions.”
I was stuck paying fair share fees to SEIU. They could start ‘neutering’ by requiring that ALL employees get to vote on keeping the union on a regular basis, like every two years. As it was, you had to be a member to vote for the local officers. The union folks were pretty much out for themselves, & they were some of the worst employees.
I've seen this in another environment. I'm convinced the union was a parasite that did nothing but take money from employees' pockets to finance junkets for union reps and officers, who used their positions to enhance their own sense of self-importance.
