Supreme Court Delivers Blow To Unions (256 hits)


The Supreme Court handed down its decision in Harris v. Quinn on Monday, saying partial public employees can't be required to contribute to unions.

I've been a Union Man for a great many years and I do understand why a 'part-time' employee should not be required to pay into a union...but they don't get the protection as a full time worker does; none of the bennies either. It's amazing how most of the American work force are 'part-time employees...the employers don't have to offer bennies - pretty slick huh?

Good post. Thanks Jen!

Peace and Love,

Greg.
