Labor Laws Make a Mockery of First Amendment
“Jewish teachers must allow NEA union bosses who evidently loathe them to speak for them on all matters concerning their pay, benefits, and work rules!”
Teamsters President Hoffa Blasts "Tea Baggers"
Perhaps unaware that many rank and file Teamsters have been part of the Tea Party movement, Teamster Boss Jim Hoffa erroneously charged, “The tea-baggers show up and are against Social Security and Medicare; they even want to shut down the VA hospitals.”
Again, Hoffa displays the problem with top down control of labor unions created by the forced-union monopoly bargaining system that evolved from the NLRA and NLRB decisions. Without the power to force workers to pay dues combined with federally-mandated monopoly bargaining, Hoffa would need to listen to his members rather than tell them what they should think.
