More On Right-To-Work

Neil,

It escapes me why labor unions demand forced, government-mandated union membership other than to maximize revenues without having to earn them.  Unions are private-sector organizations -- shouldn't they have to compete on their own merits?

Shouldn't they have to put forth compelling arguments to persuade workers of the value they provide?  Capitalism works because buyers have choices, and they reward the providers who best meet their needs.  Workers have many demands on their disposable incomes and they must retain the control to decide how best to meet their needs, obligations and responsibilities.

The argument that non-union workers benefit from collective bargaining without financial sacrifice is simply an emotional appeal without substance.  Do we really need a conversation about how some people benefit from the sacrifices of others while ignoring personal responsibilities?

Mandated union membership is nothing more than a non-government tax -- Right-to-Work should be mandated throughout our country.
