“Nuclear explosion in Oregon which is run by the public unions.”

Based on what happened in Indiana, within 5 years, less than 10% of those state employees will choose to continue paying Union Dues.

This has affected Democrats severely in all but the darkest inner- cities and Chicagoland.

“Teachers unions may lose several hundred thousand members (30%) drop!”

For financial reasons not ideological. It's highly unlikely that 30% of Teachers are closet Conservatives. No matter, starve the Beast.

Winning has become a way of life. Hahahaha. Did I say: Hahahaha.

““So what about private sector unions...?”

“There aren’t many left!”

There are plenty that are going nowhere. Longshoremen, Steel Workers, Auto, Communications, SEIU. to name a few.

Now you can see why it is quite reasonable to agree that Scalia was likely murdered.

I wouldn't say "likely".

I didn;t see anywhere in the Union’s comments where there was any thought given to the TAXPAYER !!!

[jazusamo]

I believe unions only think of taxpayers as the cash cows and the flow of that cash has now been significantly restricted. lol

[HKMk23]

LOL!

My thoughts as well; like, “From your mouth to God’s ear.”

PE unions should simply not be allowed by law,

But they are. Who is going to change it?

[Roccus]

So what about private sector unions...?

Private sector union membership was only about 6.5% before the Trump employment turnaround.

[mewzilla]

6.5% doesn’t seem like much. But the unwilling, no matter how small, are still having money picked from their pockets while their freedom of association is denied. If public sector unions are no longer permitted to do it, how in Hades can private sector unions be allowed to continue the coercive practice?

[mewzilla]

Talk about an intolerable act....

[LonePalm]

It will look like a line drive in the box score.

A group of 15 public sector unions, warned the court in a friend of the court brief that eliminating fair-share fees would eviscerate public sector unions, depriving them of resources they need to perform their essential public functions.

Maybe, just MAYBE, if these unions were using their "resources" to actually negotiate for raises or help provide something tangible and direct to their members, instead of using the member dues to bribe corrupt politicians and to help get your average unacceptable support politician elected for "future leverage," then people wouldn't be trying to force you to quit spending their money on things the members do NOT WANT!

[Roccus]

That’s why so-called “Right To Work” laws are sweeping the nation.
