| > So you want to protect your free choice...by taking way the free choice of others to organize Yes. They want to do it to me, so why wouldn't I do it to them? That just puts me at a disadvantage for following rules that my opponents refuse to follow. But "taking away their right to organize" is a bit of a stretch. They should be able to "organize", in the colloquial sense of lobbying, talking to other people, expressing their opinion, and negotiating in groups, all they want in support of their cause. Freedom of association, as defined in the first amendment of US Constitution, applies to them too. And in turn, I will "organize" AGAINST their cause, as is also MY right. Disagreeing with someone, and organizing against them, is not the same as taking away THEIR right to "organize". And yes, you can be fired, if you refuse to pay the union required fee. That's the same thing as being forced to join. Go get your money from people who chose, of their own free will, to join. |
