What rights are being infringed upon? The unions’ rights to free speech or free press? Their rights to bear arms? The laborers’ rights to practice their religion? Could somebody please answer this question for me? What Constitutional right does one have to belong to a union?
Free association is what I heard someone say yesterday when asked that question. Don’t know if that really applies but it seems that is the answer they handed out for that one.
