Employees who prefer not to join a union, but are nevertheless subject to a union contract as a result of Organized Labor's legal monopoly-bargaining privileges, are captive passengers, not so-called "free riders."

What wrong with a little extortion between friends?

Democrats and Unions cannot be trusted.

I worked over 30 years under union contracts from four different unions. Not once did any of those contracts prohibit paying more than scale to more productive employees. In fact, most of my jobs were over scale. The contract provided the minimum compensation, employers who refused to pay over that made that decision on their own, and frequently found themselves with a business filled with the kind of workers they deserved to have.
