Do you or a family member belong to a union?
“Right to work” doesn’t mean people can’t meet or voluntarily belong to or give money to a union.
They just can’t force membership and confiscate money from their paycheck.
Eliminatibg unions means eliminating the freedom of people to associate with one another and pool their resources together in order to try and improve their situation. Walker cannot do this. But he can eliminate the NLRA.
Capital has the freedom to pool their resources, labor has the right to pool their resources. I agree the government should not be involved.
The Wagner Act and the NLRA Regulation formalized unions in order to give big business an advantage over smaller ones. Because of the NLRA, now unions are encumbered by a lot of legal restrictions like election monitoring, executive boards, finances, forced arbitrations, etc. It was a compromise unions made to become formalized in government. It was an alliance between big business and big labor in order to hurt thr little guy. It also eliminated wildcat strikes, enforced arbitration and other things unions do not like. Get rid of the NLRA, and well, some wildly unpredictable things might happen.
As for right to work, what it means is the union has to represent non members and shell out money for arbitration cases, etc, even if the non members do not pay dues. It is as far as I see it, an unfair legal burden placed upon unions by NLRA regulations.... Eliminate the NLRA, and watch unions bloom. They will have more members and grow much more powerful in my opinion. All I am saying is be careful what you ask for... True freedom means keeping government entirely out of unions - not making them illegal.
