Unions Want Legal Authority to be Bullies
If you ran a business that could force customers to buy your product, you'd be sitting pretty, right? Well, labor union officials in America enjoy the legal authority to compel 11 million American workers to pay union dues or be fired. And they are working to stack the deck even more. How? By blocking workers' access to a secret ballot when choosing whether to unionize.
Federal law already gives union officials powers enjoyed by no other private organization. Union officials can force employees to accept unwanted union representation, and in the 28 states without Right to Work laws, they can also force employees to pay dues to the union as a job condition. This core privilege known as compulsory unionism enables Big Labor to rake in more than $10 billion a year in coerced dues.
