A victory for private sector workers against forced union dues

It is heartening when the justices get something right. The sneaky coercive tactics used by unions to reap the rewards of someone else's labor is getting another smack. The utter lack of a need for unions in this day and age is beginning to catch on. Is like to see this snowball quite frankly. And why are my tax dollars paying for union dues for government employes?? That's a seemingly illegal activity.

Sadly this is a small victory. There is nothing to stop union members from pressuring non-members to join OR working to squeeze them out of their jobs in favor of someone eager to participate in a union.

I've been, many years ago, in the uncomfortable position of bucking a union stewards attempts to get me to join. People I knew began asking me why I wouldn't join AND finding fault in anything I did when I held my own. In the end I stayed long enough to learn what I needed and save up a fair amount of cash and then moved on.

  They are relentless. And that whole collective pressure and non thinking is just creepy. Glad you were able to get out of it what you did, and move on!

  Standard communists tactics. According to a founder of the Viet Cong, which was originally a very diverse group of interests, something like the Tea Parties if you'll forgive the analogy, the communists played one faction against another until they were the ones left in charge, then shut the dissenters out (or killed them outright... or put them where they could be killed...)
