Wikipedia - Closed Shop Wrote:The Taft-Hartley Act outlawed the closed shop in the United States in 1947, but permits the union shop, except in those states that have passed right-to-work laws, in which case even the union shop is illegal. An employer may not lawfully agree with a union to hire only union members; it may, on the other hand, agree to require employees to join the union or pay the equivalent of union dues to it after a set period of time. Similarly, while a union could require an employer that had agreed to a closed shop contract prior to 1947 to fire an employee who had been expelled from the union for any reason, it cannot demand that an employer fire an employee under a union shop contract for any reason other than failure to pay those dues that are uniformly required of all employees.
Quote:A union shop is a form of a union security clause under which the employer agrees to hire either labor union members or nonmembers but where all non-union employees must become union members within a specified period of time or lose their jobs.


I was right - there already is legislation to prevent unions from forcing people to join. Only the company can force an employee to join a union.

So why are corporations given additional power then?

Now comes the fun stuff.

Mishka - either put up or shut up. You've already show a consistent inability to shrink quotes, post evidence or contribute to a discussion except with small, few line sentences.

Grow a brain dammit.

Use yours dammit. What additional power do Corps have? The ability to donate to political causes? Now they are equal to unions that have had that same power for decades. Corps don't forcibly take money from employees for political causes. They don't make the opting out of using dues for political causes the equivalent of filling out enough forms to buy a house.
Corps can't arbitrarily remove income from an employee without cause. As I said, the amount of state and federal employment protection laws would be enough to crush you with their weight.
