A true victory for workers’ rights.
I don't need to. Check your definition of "free association." Included therein is the right to enter into contracts. People therefore have an absolute right to select their representatives.
What gives anybody the “Right” to collective bargaining?
What gives you the right to hire a lawyer, real estate agent, or mayor? Free association. It's why "governments are instituted AMONG men." If you don't like it, fire the lot of them. Reagan did.
“I take it you have a problem with the right of free association”
You take it wrong.
“it’s union monopoly”
You’re absolutely right. And what is the unions’ biggest advantage? Not open voting. It’s the so-called “right” to collectively borrow. Free Association would be for the epmloyer to negotiate or not with whomever he wants no matter whether workers unionize or not.
“Work to amend the NRLA and stop your pining”
I reserve along with free association the right to pine. Why can’t we repeal the NRLA? Not practically. I realize we’ll never revisit pre-New Deal days. But morally, I don’t abide the NRLA at all.
“Check your definition of ‘free association.’ Included therein is the right to enter into contracts.”
You don’t seem to know what collective bargaining is.
“People have an absolute right to select their representatives.
Okay, but do employers have to care? That’s the point. Workers can group up and elect representatives all they want. There is no right to have it amount to anything.
Borrow = bargain
