Here's hoping that 2 SCOTUS vacancies open up in 2018.

Abood will be overruled this June. This will mean Right-to-Work goes nationwide for public employees. The Left will flip-out like it did when Citizens United was handed down. It will be fun to watch. All because we got Gorsuch rather than Garland.

I love how the left is “Pro choice on what you want to do with your body” but not “Pro-choice on who you want to work for using your body”...

All unions must burn.

One reason American business fled overseas, was unions pricing labor out of the market.

Once our manufacturing base returns to our shores, unions will have to be reined in or they will just do it again. I see a big problem there and I have no real answer on how to solve it. Smarter people than I may be able to.

One of my family members is a Union Member, I explain to him that sure Unions were needed a long time ago when people were being worked to death etc etc... But I told him that once they achieved their Initial STATED Goals their leadership just hung on to every excuse they could to increase their power as corruption took over. AND HE AGREES WITH ME.... then I tell him that any organisation like UNIONS give people power they will abuse that POWER...... AND HE AGREES WITH ME AGAIN!!!!!!

But then I tell him maybe the UNIONS should be downsized and dissolved, and he starts bitching about how evil the republican supposedly are.... AND HOW WE NEED UNIONS NOW MORE THAN EVER.... Some people are just so damned indoctrinated.... I have literally given up on him, it is sad, he is a philosophical ZOMBIE...

Well, I sure as hell do NOT support the regulations change to allow the “redistribution of tips”. Any tip I give is meant for the person I am tipping and NOT for the dishwasher or the owner/manager!

managers should never get tips but th kitchen staff is difrent. this also should be a decision made by the owner of the buisness how tips were handled. when I was younger I did restraunt work and every restraunt handled the tips difrently. as a dish washer I got a small percentage of the tips at one place at another I got nothing.

Grace, it sounds like your family member knows what we both know but that he enjoys the power that unions give. Both in the workplace and in the field of politics.

Which is just another example of the "Big Lie" philosophy of the left. They make noises that sound good, but only to mask their evil purpose. They know the average person would never support their true agenda, so they gussy it up with "it's for the chirrun" and "we love poor people". It's also why they paint us as racists, sexists, etc. They know it's a lie, but they do it anyway.

EVERY word out of their mouth is a lie. The smart ones know it, and the stupid ones repeat it. Because they are stupid.

“Security fee”?

Well, at least they are honest that what they are doing is little more than a mafia-style protection racket.

I work for the Commonwealth of PA and I think AFSCME is our union. Me and a coworker can’t stand it because we want no part in the union and what it stands for. Even if we’re not in the union we have to pay a fee

When this win comes in it will cripple the fake unions’ ability to steal members’ money to give to the evil donkey. This is what happened in Wisconsin.

“The Trump administration has indicated that new rules could allow employers to seize tips given to bartenders and wait staff provided they are paid at least the minimum wage”.

Sorry but that is a terrible idea. Tips are left for the waiter/waitress and should not be the property of the owner.

A great dining experience becomes reality when all personnel work together. The waiter or waitress gets the tip but the credit goes to everyone from the chef to the busboy who do a great part of the work. My wife worked at quality restaurants and she didn’t mind sharing her tips because the staff could just as easily have ruined the experience. The manager doesn’t partake usually but he certainly oversees a smooth operation.

<... the justices will take up a case that could end the practice of forcing government workers to pay union dues.

Public Unions should have been outlawed from the start.

What I don't understand about public employee unions is this: How can their contracts possibly be constitutional?

They promise future spending, which must come from legislatures not yet elected.

The whole premise of elected legislatures is that the people, indirectly, control their own affairs, including taxation and spending.

In the case of a private business which defaults on a contract, the plaintiff has a cause of action against the business.

But if the Michigan legislature elected in 2026 cancels pension payments to auto workers, who do the auto workers have a cause of action against? The voters?

Executive Order 10988 is a United States presidential executive order issued by President John F. Kennedy on January 17, 1962 that recognized the right of federal employees to collective bargaining. This executive order was a breakthrough for public sector workers, who were not protected under the 1935 Wagner Act.

This was payback to Mayor Daley and the unions for the voter fraud in Chicago that allowed Kennedy to steal the Presidential election from Nixon.

Yea, I know, there is NO DIFFERENCE between Republicans and Democrats. Right.

(...and I do wonder if the people making that claim might just be Democrat trolls here)
