Don't you mean the "Right to work for less"

Let's not forget that the law this court case is trying to overturn was declared Constitutional in 9-0 ruling by the US Supreme Court in 1977. And that was also a conservative court.

Besides, isn't it the Right that is always saying that there is no such thing as a free lunch? Then how is it that people who benefit from working under a union contract thinks that they should be exempt from supporting that same union who got them those contractually protected benefits?

With 25 States already having Right to Work statutes it seems the Supreme Court is close to adding the 25 States that have not done so.

Compulsory payment of dues or fees to a union forces a worker in disagreement with the union to pay for representation he/she does not want.

The State should never assume the role of enforcing union membership.

Interesting case.

As most manufacturing unions have been decimated over the past twenty five years, the biggest effect will be on public sector unions.
