Don’t want to pay union dues, belong to a union, etc.? Don’t apply for work in a union shop! Goodness, I thought the plan was for LESS government regulation.

When I lived in Iowa, I went to work for a union company (Iowa is a RtW state). I was immediately met by a union goon who asked if I was going to join. I told him I only planned to work there for a short time (it was a temporary position for the summer).

He said that was ok but I would find it difficult to do the job with two broken arms.

I joined.

RtW, my a$$.

Outstanding! If nothing else, do not force employers to deduct union dues. Let the unions bill their members. Why should employers be required by law to do the dirty work?

This is great, and should be one of the first things back on the agenda when Republicans control all three branches of government again.

“Don’t want to pay union dues, belong to a union, etc.? Don’t apply for work in a union shop! Goodness, I thought the plan was for LESS government regulation.”

Now there’s some twisted logic.

You’ve got to be kidding! It is federal law that gives unions such tyrannical power to start, this would be just a trimming back of such government interference.

Maybe easier said than done, but that’s the kind of thing that should be reported.

OUTSTANDING!

It won't get through the Senate, but it will FORCE them to explain why forced extortion is needed to be continued.

VETO is for-sure, as they need the 100's of millions of Union-funneled dollars to get The Messiah and the Progressives/Socialists re-elected.

Excellent. This can’t pass while Obama is in office, of course, which is another strong reason to elect someone else.

Sen. DeMint would do just fine.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but wouldn’t this also require repeal of Davis-Bacon?

Wouldn't it be better(constitutionally) to just repeal the federal laws that interfered in the states' business in the first place?
