The Repubs should pass the "no-withholding-of-dues" legislation as a stand-alone bill. Not being part of an appropriations bill, it would not need a 3/5ths quorum.

The legislation is unnecessary. They should simply enforce Communications Workers v. Beck established that a union may not withhold without permission.

Agreed as to Beck. However, it is also important (and valuable) to have a State statute enacted along the same lines, or even go further if such action is do-able.
