“The new law will require unions and union officials to work, to supply their valuable expertise and to provide expensive services for nothing,”
They have to do anything. If they want to keep agitating, let them so it on their own dime.
No one is “forcing” union leadership to do a d*mn thing.
Oh, look, another black-robed tyrant. Impeach this bitch.
Nonsense - her ruling flies in the face of established precedent in the courts finding that right to work laws (where union membership is not a requirement) are perfectly constitutional.
“Judges don’t make political rulings” - Justice Roberts projected.
A judge appointed by a democRat governor. What a surprise!
“The new law will require unions and union officials to work, to supply their valuable expertise and to provide expensive services for nothing,”

Valuable expertise? at what? Extortion, beatings, bribery, theft, yeah, right, expertise.. Haaa.
Once MI and WI passed RTW it was all over but the shouting for the liberal puke unions, RTW is here to stay!
We can’t have our law enforcement people endangered, their families must not have to love in fear. It is time to eradicate MS-13 and every gang or organization which might threaten LE. This must be a nationwide thrust. No more “Mr. Nice Guy” when dealing with them - to the gallows!!!
This idiot judge is saying that you should be compelled to pay money to people you are not involved with? That’s like if I had a crime watch group with 6 neighbors paying money for warning signs and cameras to catch thieves, and it catches a neighbor’s porch that wasn’t involved with us having something stolen from it, and that video footage catches the crook. Does that neighbor have to now pay into the neighborhood watch because they “benefited”?
The company has the right to not extend the benefits from whatever the union contracts stipulate to the non-union people if they dont want, but if they do, then so what? Maybe they just do it to keep everything uniform.
I recall reading supreme court oral arguments over very similar issues. Can’t recall if a ruling has already been made on that, or if it is still pending.
“Bailey concluded that association would not be forced on anyone. Instead, the judge wrote, the fees collected by unions “essentially function as taxes on collective bargaining members for the costs of ‘legislative’ and governmental services.”
In other words, in the opinion of this judge, citizens of West Virginia do not have a right to select the services they wish to purchase and unions have the authority to levy taxes on the citizens of West Virginia. Assuming Bailey is an attorney, I’m thinking she failed Logic 101.
Republicans had two years to pass the National Right to Work Act. Many co-sponsors. But they didn’t push. Now this. First of many court challenges...
Seems this ruling is contrary to the Supreme Court ruling a year or so ago that states people do not have to join the union or pay union dues in order to work somewhere. But then, as with all liberal judges, they only comply with the Supreme Court when they want to. These blacked robe activists need to be removed — completely.
That’s not arbitrary and it’s not ‘free labor’. It’s just business. If paying dues to the union and salaries to the union bosses make sense then the members will pay it. If it doesn’t make sense, then the workers shouldn’t pay it and the bosses have to figure out another way to get paid.
It’s like the owner of an overpriced coffee house complaining he doesn’t have enough income to cover his overhead... what, force the neighborhood residents to stop in once every two weeks?
The judge seems to think the union is a government entity.
When the county plows your street, your paying through tax for which you have no opt out.
This ruling is saying if I plow your street, then you owe me, because you benefited.
The quick argument against this ruling is that unions are active in publicly influencing elections, where the public (supposedly) benefits without paying for the union efforts.
The judge is right - you cannot take private property and force an organization to lend its use to others without compensation.
No one is forced to join a union. But if you do, if you have to pay dues for the protection and benefits it provides you.
Its not fair dues-paying members should have to subsidize free loaders.
So called right to work laws are invidious on their face.
