I would certainly agree with this.

There is a unionized plant in MS that used common sense in renegotiating their contract with the plant.

This corporation has several plants in different states. A plant in one state left because they could not cope with the union demands. The plant in MS stayed because the already well-paid workers took some cuts to keep their jobs.

There is one fortune 500 company who literally closed down plants in at least 3 states and moved them to India, Brazil, and France. These were all union plants. So far they kept their plant in MS...a right to work state.

Globalization changes the tide for the corporations.

And on a side note...what will taxing the very rich do in this age of globalization?

Why don't Christians start "unions"??? Many employers require that employees work on Sunday or work shifts that take them away from worship. Imagine a Christian labor front standing for the religious liberties of employees.

We have "at will" employees who opt out of the union here too. They don't pay dues. However, if the union negotiates a raise... they get it. If it negotiates time off, they get it. If the union fights to preserve positions... they keep them.

I think that if a person doesn't want to be a member or pay dues... they shouldn't get the raise that the union negotiates. Also, they should be able to be dismissed at will, like non union employees, without having management needing to follow an agreed upon procedure in the contract.

Frankly... I see it as another example of how a given political philosophy can convince people to vote against their own interests.

I can see the unions being really ticked over that. No wonder they grabbed Steven Crowder and tried to beat him up. There were some really angry people and I think it's going to cause some floor fights at work in the future.

It's your link which is for an embedded player instead of linked to the video

Most don't understand how "right to work" laws undermine future contracts and wages. Essentially... it drags everyone down to rock bottom without negotiations.
