President Bush\u2019s decision to seek a temporary injunction to open the West Coast ports for shipping is only a temporary solution to a much larger problem.  \u201cIf the president is serious about protecting America\u2019s economy and security, he must work to end compulsory unionism in the form of monopoly bargaining and forced union dues. This power gives union officials control over union treasuries, union offices, strike votes, and contract negotiations without fear of workers exercising any practical restraint.  \u201cUnion officials have a long history of exploiting national security and economic crises to seek more power. During the Second World War, Big Labor waged 13,000 strikes and work stoppages to impose forced unionism on hundreds of thousands of workers. By the end of World War II, more than 78 percent of unionized employees were governed by contracts that required them to pay union dues as a condition of employment, a fourfold increase. \u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Washington, D.C.
