“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.
Ha!...unions. I went to work for a major railroad late 1995 in a small town. The culture did not like outsiders...leaders, managers, and coworkers. I stuck it out for 18 years. Dealing with discrimination, retaliation, blacklisting, hostile work environment, etc. Over these years I cried and begged my ‘union’ to help (I had to pay dues as a condition of employment). I got squat. The union said they did not have the resources to help those they deem could themselves. I was labeled this because I was ex-military and and a fighter. After those years, i folded and was medically retired due to the stresses I endured. Now in my late 50s, my life-career is over. I have no positive feeling for my representatives I paid so much for.
Sorry, just venting.
I suppose that you gotta know what you are doing when you break a leg, or throw acid in someone’s face to blind them. Perhaps there is a science or art to it.
