Well amidst the contagion angst, some good news for conservatism.

“The unions contended that the act would allow non-union employees of companies to gain the benefits of contract negotiation and other benefits without having to pay.”

They shouldn’t pay for something they didn’t want to start with.

Because the union is there the employees that don’t pay dues are bared from negotiating a better contract for themselves, they sure as heck shouldn’t be charged for that!

Only the slugs need the union to keep their job.

"The unions contended that the act would allow non-union employees of companies to gain the benefits of contract negotiation and other benefits without having to pay."

That's only the case because the unions insist on the concept of a "union shop". If the union actually believed in worker freedom, and only those workers who wanted a union had to be in the union, then this wouldn't even be an issue.

If the union doesn’t provide sufficient benefit to employees for them to choose to be members, it has no reason to exist.
