Make the unions pass their own hat around and the unions will self destruct all by themselves.

I don't disagree with the goal, but I am questioning the means. Shouldn't the 10th Amendment be a factor in whether this should be federal legislation or not? Is there a truly enumerated power in the Constitution (as opposed to an inferred power from a penumbra) that means this is a federal and not a state issue?

I'm open to this beind defended. But we should not succumb to temptation just because we might agree with the outcome. There needs to be a truly Constitutional rational for this.

Maybe a 1st Amendment approach - freedom of association - forced unionism violates such.
