True, but (1) I think I heard that police and fire unions were exempt from the new right-to-work law and (2) the man being interviewed, IIRC, was police brass, so he most likely wouldn't be in a union in his current position.
That's true but there is a legal reason behind it.
Back in approx. 1966, then congressman Coleman A. Young was able to pass a bill that gave law enforcement and firefighters the right to collective bargaining but that was governed by binding arbitration
What that means is, any contract negotiations will ultimately be decided by an Arbitrator and their membership do not have the right to stage any walk outs or strikes........
Had the RTW bill included these people then the original bill would have had to be rewritten and re-ajudicated.........
