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

So...you think labor unions are run by cigar chomping "Union Fat Cats", who receive outrageous salaries and benefits, while living a life of luxury comparable to Saudi Arabian Princes, lording their unrestrained power over the entire United States of America... all on the backs of the union-enslaved workers they represent. Here's your chance to prove it.

Taft-Hartley clearly states, and a number of court cases have confirmed, that non-union members can be compelled to pay only that portion of union dues that is attributable to the cost of representing employees in collective bargaining and providing the service that are given to union members. Indeed, the law specifically states that non-members cannot be required to pay for the union’s political activities or for the costs incurred by the union resulting from organizing employees.

Well if you bother to read the Taft-Hartley act you'll see that what you just said is a LIE !!!'Right-to-Work' Laws Explained, Debunked And Demystified Contributor

Rick Ungar Forbes Which brings us to myth number 2….

Non-union members, who are required to pay the union dues even when not a member, are—as a result of paying these dues—being forced to contribute to the political activities of the union despite their disagreement with the political goals the union may choose to pursue.

Again….not true.

And it is not today’s workers but it is the real Union Fat Cats whose way of living a life of luxury all on the backs of the union-enslaved workers they pretend to represent that maybe in jeopardy because the workers deserve the freedom to choose whether to participate in a labor organization as a condition of employment.

Union Fat Cats, their family members, and their toadies are now vehemently fighting against Right-To-Work legislation in order to deny the workers the power and freedom to choose whether to participate in a labor organization as a condition of employment.

Right-to-work legislation is now being pushed by right wing, pro-corporate legislators nationally in order to break the power of unions, which now only represent 9 percent of workers in private industry in the U.S. Right-to-work would bar unions from collecting dues from all represented workers, while still requiring unions to represent all workers. It would reverse previous union elections won by unions in which the entire unit had elected to be represented by unions, breaking the unity needed by labor to have any power.

“So: the intensely political Ohio AFL-CIO lies to its members to gin up rage about a policy that would give workers more freedom, demeans anyone who believes workers should be able to opt out of paying union bosses, and then bemoans “attacks” and divisiveness.”

“Apparently the Ohio AFL-CIO believes its members are too ignorant to realize the union position on workplace freedom is that workers must be forced to pay unions for their own good.”

Updated: Right-to-work legislation put down hard, CONCORD— For the third time in three years, right-to-work legislation was defeated, this time when the House voted 212-141 Wednesday, killing the bill.

****

After two years of heated and bitter battles when former House Speaker William O'Brien, R-Mont Vernon, made right-to-work one of his priorities, lawmakers this year spent about 45 minutes debating House Bill 323, which would prohibit employers and labor organizations from including fees for non-union members in collective bargaining agreements.
