Yeah , and it can also be called "right to work without the union

Typically, union dues amount to only a very small percentage of wages.

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?
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.

Good luck with that one.



Want a free lunch at the expense of dues-paying union members? --then vote

for "right to work laws" and kiss everybody's pay and benefits goodbye,

including your own...

You can't...but you you could, do you really think that it would pay more ?

I've got a feeling that the opportunity simply never presented itself.
