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.”
Patriotism – Big Labor Style
Pro-forced unionism Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) is a proponent of the so-called “Patriot Corporation Act,” a bill that says if you take away an individual’s right to vote for or against a labor union, force an employer to remain silent, and eliminate an individual employee’s right to get information about unionization from anyone other than a union organizer, you will get preferential treatment for government contracts – and reach the lofty status of a “Patriot Corporation.”
It seems that Senator Brown is worried about maintaining and, in fact, dramatically increasing Big Labor’s monopoly power over workers as a solution to job losses in his home state. There is another solution – pass the National Right to Work Bill which would simply eliminate the federal authorization that allows union officials to have workers, who refuse to pay dues or fees to a union, fired!
There is another cosponsor of the “Patriot Corporation Act” – Sen. Barack Obama.
