A ‘Duty to Bargain’ Over Employees’ Freedom?!
"Vullo makes it clear that using the threat of federal prosecution to force any employer to put employees’ Right to Work on the bargaining table violates the First Amendment.”
The Right to Work movement and independent-minded workers across America have many friends, but perhaps none more dedicated and supportive than Rep. Marilyn Musgrave.
She, once again, showed leadership on behalf of working families when she went to the House Rules Committee and pushed for consideration of a National Right to Work law. As expected, the Democrat majority shut down her amendment designed to restore volunteerism as the basis of union membership.
She knows, like AFL founder Samuel Gompers knew, that no lasting gain can be achieved through compulsion — the workers of America adhere to voluntary institutions — anything else is a menace to their rights.
"Vullo makes it clear that using the threat of federal prosecution to force any employer to put employees’ Right to Work on the bargaining table violates the First Amendment.”
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.
“Politicians have a simple choice to make: either support the National Right to Work Act, or explain to their constituents why they think workers ought to be forced to give up a portion of their paychecks to union bosses they oppose.”
