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.”
Just how desperate is Big Labor? The union bosses from the Washington State have filed an ethics complaint against South Carolina Sen. Lindsay Graham for “pressuring” the National Labor Relations Board into dropping its ill-founded complaint against they company whose employees they claim to represent. On this issue, Graham is representing the people and workers of his state and not the interests of big labor. Perhaps it’s the first time such a thing has happened to this union and they are unsure on how best to react.

The ILA hierarchy’s clear motive in suing two carriers that had docked at Leatherman, and in its threat to sue others if they did the same, was to bully the South Carolina Ports Authority (SCPA), with whom the union had no contract, into selling out the freedom of union-free port employees who then operated heavy equipment.
Threatening workers with illegal termination is perfectly normal as far as UAW President Shawn Fain is concerned.
