    It's an excellent rebuttal to your bizarre allegations of "paternalism".

      Again, about a third of union workers vote Republican, while virtually every penny of union campaign contributions go to Democrats.
      John Brown did nothing wrong.

        Of course, any union worker who disagrees with gribbler is a "free rider" who should be forced by law to pay for political activities that they oppose.

          They are well served by making one of the two major parties more sympathetic to their union's interests.

            Good one. So bribing politicians is now a core function of trade unions.

              No one is "forced by law". There's no law mandating the workplaces require union membership. There's simply a failure to enact a law forcing workplaces to not do so.

                Why shouldn't they when businesses do it all the time? Should they just sit back and let businesses buy all of the political influence? That would be dumb.

                  Why are people forced by law to not be naked while at work?

                    Union dues used to fund strikes, serve as a safety net for workers, and generally fund activities that all union members could agree to. Now it's just a fund raising device for one of the two main political parties. A party that one third of union members oppose. But you still think that anybody who doesn't pay up is a "free rider".

                      They should try that excuse in a court of law. I'm sure a judge would agree with you that the union membership agreement isn't legally binding.

                      Because a third of their membership opposes the candidate. If a business does something you disagree with, it's easy to buy from their competition. But finding a new job is a lot harder than a new place to buy pizza.

                        You're complaining that people are "forced by law" to honor a contract they agree to?

                        Should all conditions for employment be outlawed because finding a new job is inconvenient?

                          So you're opposed to at-will employment? Just because it's harder to find a new job, employees should be coddled?
