The Right To Work Should Be One Of Life's Most Basic Freedoms

Each year in the United States, union bosses extract over 8 billion dollars from the wages of America’s union workers. The payment of these union fees is not voluntary but is a requirement to simply keep a union job.

This huge amount of money is then spent at the whim of big union bosses to support candidates and issues that a large number of their members do not agree with. It is also used to promote the extravagant lifestyle of union bosses, with its penthouses, limousines and raw political power. Many union heads, such as Donald Trumpka, of the AFL-CIO, are frequent overnight visitors to the White House and sit on various boards and committees that formulate laws and regulations which benefit unions. The political clout of organized unions is immense. No Democrat has ever been elected to the office of President without a huge turnout of union workers all with marching orders on the preferred candidate of the union movement.
A major blow to the political power of the unions was the Taft-Hartley Act of 1947. This sweeping act limited the rights of individual members to contribute to politicians or groups. Another section outlawed closed shops that would only hire union members while another required unions to give a 60 day “cooling-down period” or notice of intent to strike. Also, if a strike were of intense national interest, workers could be compelled to go back to work and agree to binding arbitration.

Democrat President Harry S. Truman vetoed the Taft-Hartley Act but congress overrode his veto and the bill became law. Truman ran on the promise of vetoing the act in his second term but this never came to be.

A new political initiative called the National Right-To-Work Act is being tossed about Washington. This bill would make it unlawful for payment of union dues to be a pre-requisite to getting and keeping a job. At the present time, there are 22 states mostly in the south and west that enforce Right-To-Work. It is the goal of the new act to extend Right-To-Work to all 50 states. This would make the payment of union dues voluntary. Workers would most likely elect not to pay these dues and unions would have less money to use to attempt to sway the electoral process.

A recent case of the Boeing Company coming under pressure from the National Labor Relations Board is a good example of the importance of the Right-To-Work Act. Boeing chose to build a new factory to assemble its jumbo jets in South Carolina. South Carolina is a Right-To-Work state where employees can choose whether or not to join a union. The NLRB is attempting to force Boeing to build the factory in Washington state instead. In Washington State, all workers must pay union dues in order to work at a union facility. The question is over the constitutionality of such an act by the NLRB. I believe that the question is absurd on its face. This would hold true if it were a lower level of governmental that was making this judgment. But for a United States federal level agency to force a private company to build in a forced union state is akin to despotism.

If you agree that American workers should have the right to work without pressure from unions to join, please contact your US Representative and both Senators and express your strong support of a National Right-To-Work Act.

Express to them that you think the right of a worker to choose should be guaranteed by law. Democrat legislators are usually for the right of a woman to choose, I think that a working person should deserve their same level of support.
