How does it “protect” my rights when I would be forced to join a union and pay dues just to get a job? That’s ridiculous. Perhaps people should be forced to join a church? Just as crazy right?
I should not have to join or pay an organization in order to get a job. That’s extortion. Unions aren’t banned in right to work states — workers just have the freedom to decide if they want to join those organizations. How is freedom of choice a bad thing? You would force people into unions? Isn’t that totalitarianism?
Why would I want my wages collectively bargained anyway? I am far above average in my particular field, why would I want to be paid at the average? The only workers unions benefit are the below average workers. They necessarily harm the top to “help” the bottom. Aren’t unions the ones that created rubber rooms? Aren’t they the reason it costs so much to get any public infrastructure built in union states?
Join a union if you want. That’s what is great about America, there is still (barely) a thing called freedom. However it’s fading fast with socialist/communist/leftist/totalitarian ideology catching on among people that are too young to remember Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union in the 1970s or who ignore Venezuela now or are under the impression that Sweden is a socialist success story.
