I have long advocated the dismantling of all unions. They are nothing more than extortion rackets. It's not just those in the public sector but all of these corrupt outfits. They were born out the international socialist movement by the likes of Bill Haywood, Samuel Gompers, John Lewis and Eugene Debs. All of these were anti-American, anti-business despicable characters. They bred the evil that we see today personified by thugs such as Andy Stern and Dick Trumka.
At best, unions should be prosecuted to the fullest extent using the RICO laws. If that's not possible (although in a just world, it should be), every single state should enact Right to Work laws. Eliminating forced unionism will ultimately mean the elimination of unions. Can you imagine the economic juggernaut America would become when enterprise is freed the union stranglehold?
