\nOf course, millions of new forced dues paying union members would only increase union bosses’ <\/i>influence, not the workers’ influence — nearly half of whom do not support Big Labor’s political agenda.\n<\/p>\n

\nMeanwhile, American who agrees with Big Labor’s political agenda can already choose to financially (or otherwise) support union-backed candidates and causes. <\/i>But union bosses, you see, know better than the average worker. The average worker isn’t giving enough <\/i>support to the Far Left politicians prefered by union officials on his own. So union bosses want to use dues money, seized from workers’ paychecks, to finance their own political activism.\n<\/p>\n

\nWorse, an increase in Card Check forced unionism will open the doors for rampant intimidation of workers by union goons — so much of the increased dues money going to these politics will be from workers who were pressured into union ranks through card check.\n<\/p>\n

\nEmployees should indeed have a free choice — to determine their own representation and to decide for themselves if they want to join a union or fund its political activism.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
