Mobilization Frustrates Forced-Dues Scheme
As soon as Democrat politicians seized full control over Richmond last November, Big Labor bosses began demanding that forced union dues be brought to the Commonwealth of Virginia.
Sen. Jim Webb (D-VA) – a cosponsor of the Card Check Forced Unionism bill in 2008 (S. 560 in this congress) – is now indicating that he may withhold support for the bill. His spokesperson Jessica Smith said,
“He doesn’t believe this is the appropriate time to introduce this legislation or to be debating it.”
In other words, he wants the issue to go away so he doesn’t have to take a stand on the issue.
Of course, forced unionism is not fair and equitable in any form but its good to see that Sen. Webb is feeling the heat from Virginians and most assuredly folks across the country on this forced unionism abomination.
Everyone should contact Sen. Webb again to oppose S. 560 and any bill that would expand forced unionism.

As soon as Democrat politicians seized full control over Richmond last November, Big Labor bosses began demanding that forced union dues be brought to the Commonwealth of Virginia.
“...Right-to-Work is overwhelmingly popular with the commonwealth’s citizens, and states with such laws typically enjoy far faster employment growth and substantially higher cost-of-living-adjusted disposable incomes than forced-dues states.”
A handful of short-sighted Republicans are hurting themselves and their own party by failing to cosponsor the National Right to Work Act, breaking pledges they made to their constituents and helping Big Labor keep the legislation from coming to the floor.
