Taken from the HuffingandPuffington Post
quote:

The political ramifications of the ruling will be long-lasting. Unions are a pillar of the Democratic Party, steering money to labor-friendly candidates and helping to run Democratic ground games during campaigns. Janus may force some unions to cut back on political spending as they steer resources toward maintaining their membership levels.

If that’s the case, Republican candidates stand to benefit. As a recent paper from the National Bureau of Economic Research showed, right-to-work laws tend to drive down votes for Democratic candidates for office. Comparing presidential election results in adjacent counties across state lines, the bureau’s researchers found that the Democrat’s share of the vote fell by 3.5 percentage points after a right-to-work law went into effect.

As usual, the Democrats support issues based on how it benefits their party, not the American people as a whole.

So this is a ruling concerning gov't employee unions. Has the issue already been decided concerning private sector unions?

rush was qouting the shear dollar amounts the public sector unins sent to the DNC or Dem candidates compared to little if any to RNC/rep candidates.....


this was the issue. members had no say in how their "dues" were spend, often time going to red candidates they did not support....


this well will start to dry up....

Well, if your party can't stay afloat without governmental manipulation and interference, then maybe your party is a sham.

Oh, and have a great day.

They decided the case correctly. Regardless of politics, it absolutely is a violation of the guys first amendment right to not have a say in joining a union and paying the cost. His only choice not to pay would be to quit.

How is this reasonable?!

And the ruling didn't leave the unions without options.

It stated that the union could charge a "reasonable fee" for services rendered on behalf of a specific non-union employee for a specific matter (such as a grievance over employee discipline). They could also decide not to assist the employee (again, on an individual matter only).

They refuse to back the people who refuse to throw into the slush fund and I guarantee the Union gets decertified.

I am just waiting for Barry Bonds or Fox Mulder to show up on this thread and chastise you for pointing out something so painfully-obvious.

BTW, I agree with your analysis.
