“In case you did not notice, it is the communist that don’t allow unions. In America we are still free and have the right to meet and organize our thoughts in a group.”

Governor Walker isn’t suggesting that all unions be outlawed. I don’t know how you could legally do that, even if he was. If a group of workers think they can negotiate a better deal together, go for it. What he did was prevent the unions from forcing unwilling workers to join.

People have a right to meet and organize. They don’t have a right to make other workers pay for it, nor do they have the right to pretend they speak for all their fellows.

Mandatory union membership only results in union dues going to leftist pockets.

I believe a union and a corporation have a right to negotiate anything that they want - including creating membership in a union as a condition of employment. Saying otherwise is interfering in contracts and is not freedom.
