Right to be forced to pay dues

The right to work law is unconstitutional according to a leftist circuit court judge in Madison, Wisconsin because labor unions have a "property right" to the wages of employees.  Right-to-work proponents will appeal the socialist's decision.

Wisconsin became the 25th right-to-work state where people could not be forced to pay union dues. 

The problem was made public when workers argued the compulsory dues were going to a union that financially supported a political candidate they did not want to support. Sounds reasonable--kind of like "taxation without representation."

"We are extremely disappointed that the Dane County Circuit Court struck down Wisconsin's right-to-work law, but we are confident the law will be upheld on appeal," state AG Brad Schimel said.

The bill went into effect last March and three labor unions sued the state, Gov. Walker, and Schimel. The unions claimed the law requires unions to provide a service--workplace "representation" to nonunion workers--without being compensated. 

The Honorable C. William Foust agreed. 

But state and right-to-work advocates argue that "neither the federal nor state law requires a union or other entity to become an exclusive bargaining representative."

But Foust says that argument is "disingenuous," which is exactly the union's position.

So now liberals are giving each other "high fives" over the Foust decision, but I suspect the appeal process will see the right-to-work law upheld.

Isn't it great that liberals want to ensure worker's rights to forcibly pay union dues is upheld? 

What idiots.

Hey Hey Ho Ho

Hey hey, ho ho, union choice has got to go!  

That isn't exactly the chant that's being voiced in Lansing, Michigan, but that's what it's all about.  A right to work state is unfair because it gives individuals the right to join a union or not to join a union.  That's just not fair to those people who choose to work without a net--the protection of a union that ensures that work gets done at the level of the poorest worker, the slowest on the assembly line, the guy who takes the most sick days.  Everyone should pay union dues whether they like it or not--freedom of choice is un-American--wait--maybe I'm wrong.

One of the protestards said that everyone has the right to work, but they don't have the right to work for lower wages.  Why not?  Isn't that free market?  And now that Obama won a second term (and hopefully a final term), he jumped on the pro-union bandwagon.  Surprised?

But Dumbocrats say right to work is a political ploy.  Interesting in light of the fact that unions have contributed to Obama's re-election overwhelmingly while Republican union members are forced to pay dues that go to re-elect a socialist.  Now that, my friends, is un-American.

In the states that have passed the Freedom to Work Law, there is a significantly higher rate of employment.  The only people who really benefit from unions in today's world, are union leaders whose salaries are enormously disproportionate to the actual workers they represent, and people like Obama whose re-election was due to unions and the media.
