I am fine with billionairs and unions. But only when there is right-to-work laws, that is, laws that make it illegal for unions to be forced on employees (which is becoming increasingly common)
Right to work means a company can hire non-union workers.. in non-right-to-work states it unions can force businesses into contracts where they are required to only hire union employees, in non-right-to-work states the business is not free to hire non-union workers, and likewise a worker **must** join the union to be hired and the worker does not have the right to refuse members. Likewise if i leave membership of my union after being hired I must be let go.
Cant ever support non-right-to-work states.
> There is no such thing as a non-right-to-work state!
Incorrect, there are 23 non-right-to-work states, and 27 right to work states.
> Remember you don't have to work for a union😲 but to let other do the work and get all the goodies, makes you of low character🙃
Depends on the state and the country. In states without right-to-work laws, then unions can (and often do) require a company only hire union workers and have a contract with the company where they are obligated to do so. Non-union workers can not work at such a company.
Sounds like you are describing a state with a right-towork law, which is as it should be. In such states it is as you describe, no one is required to be a member of the union.
@freemo @cindyyusa @philsplace right to work means every employee can veto which means everyone loses except the employer
No thats not what right to work means. Rigbt to work varies from state to state but essentially just means you must be a memeber of the union with a securities agreement to get the job. At a minimum it obligates all employees to pay union dues and support the union even if thry dont want to.
The consequence that has on voti g depends largely on the particular union and state in question.
@freemo @philsplace
There is no such thing as a non-right-to-work state! As a union member, you agree to let the union negotiate for you, then you vote to accept or decline. The company does not have to agree, then a strike or not. Remember you don't have to work for a union😲 but to let other do the work and get all the goodies, makes you of low character🙃
