state's powerful union movement that
shows no signs of dying down in the weeks ahead.
"Right to work" would more accurately be called "right to work for
lower pay and fewer or no benefits."
Yeah , and it can also be called "right to work without the union
extorting part of your wages" .
Typically, union dues amount to only a very small percentage of wages.
Now I believe in the good unions have done for workers , but I also
believe that the leadership in many , if not most , unions has been
corrupted by the enormous amounts of money they handle with minimal
oversight . It's not so much that money power corrupts as that it
attracts the corruptible .
If you don't want to work in a union shop and pay union dues then fine,
you're perfectly free to find a better paying job in a non-union
establishment.
So, how do you find a teaching job in the public school system when all
openings require union participation, by law?
You can't...but you you could, do you really think that it would pay more ?
I've worked for over 45 years, never joined a union, and if unsatisfied
with wages or conditions of employment, simply voted with my feet.
I've got a feeling that the opportunity simply never presented itself.
