Fox News reports on the National Right to Work Foundation's efforts to hold the SEIU accountable for forcing nonunion California civil servants to contribute to a union political fund. Foundation staff attorney Jim Young is interviewed during the segment.
That's exactly what the Mafia did. They said either pay us protection money or quit working. Eventually, law enforcement solved that problem more or less. Then Unions came along and said, either pay us "dues," which is essentially protection money, or quit working. Only Unions had Democrats and used words like "dues" instead of "protection money" so liberals and their Democrat leaders, who are really keen on semantics said, now "dues," we can support that. Lets make it law. We're so smart.

Most of what Unions do today is nothing short of legally sanctified extortion. I mean it's just like what the mafia did, only they have the law backing them. I mean I seriously doubt the Mafia would have been so violent if the police always sided with them. The Mafia was violent because they needed to keep people silent and submissive. Unions don't have to be violent because they have the law and the courts forcing people to either join up and give them your dues or don't work.

I wonder if the even include the emancipation proclamation in their textbooks. They just seem so barbaric.

I can't wait until California learns to abolish slavery and learns that it's bad :-)

@rexbreed for that reason I think unions are far more evil than corporations ever were. At least with corporations you could choose to not work for them. With unions it's like we're back to the days of slavery.

I guess California law prescribes that is right for unions to be able to steal people's money. It said if you're a union worker or non-union worker they have a right to charge you. I guess that's basically everyone in California. How wrong is that. Evil is probably the best way to describe it. I can't see any other way to put it.

True that! And no dues should ever be required of a non-member. That is just EVIL!

Union dues shouldn't ever be paid out of anyone's paycheck. If you want to belong to a union, the dues should be paid from the member to the union like membership to any organization. Union dues automatically paid from payroll is a recipe for corruption.
