"Union fat-cats...myth or reality?"

"It is not uncommons that Americans actively dislike unions, something very rare in Germany. One possible reason is that historically many unions in the US were allied with the mob; another is that they are viewed as a cartel that prevents the free market from establishing the true price of labor."

"Unions"

By Axel Boldt

“US unions are often hostile towards strike breakers and force all employees of a unionized company to join the union. This is not the case in Germany: if you don't want to join, you don't; you will still get the benefits of the negotiated contract.”

"The difference is that in right-to-work states, unions need to earn the trust of their members by actually helping them out. Compare that to the postal unions, who would rather keep collecting dues of more members today and pass the buck on those employees’ pension plans. When the employees’ interest is not at heart, as was the case at Hostess, a lot of people wind up being out of work and far worse off."

So to the retired ‘no-fee paying’ union member Munster - compulsory union dues slavery is fine as long as it is not him!

“We support repeal of all laws which impede the ability of any person to find employment. We oppose government-fostered forced retirement. We support the right of free persons to associate or not associate in labor unions, and an employer should have the right to recognize or refuse to recognize a union. We oppose government interference in bargaining, such as compulsory arbitration or imposing an obligation to bargain.”

Let's end the “Union Fat Cats” war on workers’ freedom of association.

When ever a person makes a CHOICE to either A: work at a union shop or B: work at a non-union shop they are making their own personal CHOICE !!!When you say they have no choice your LYING !! ~~~Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Albert Einstein~~~NO#1 theres nobody holding a gun to anyones head forceing them to ratify a union ! Thats more of your right-wing garbage that is propagated in order to sway you weak-minded types !NO#2 Just in case you havent noticed we live in a free democracy that as one of its bases is the right of the majority !You do know what a majority is dont you ?

Let's end the “Union Fat Cats” war on workers’ freedom to choose whether or not they join a labor union and pay dues or fees at their place of work as a condition of employment.
