Government Union Collective Bargaining 101: Does this make sense? Why or why not?

I believe the media is perpetuating the confusion surrounding Scott Walker's bill. It only further diminishes what is left of their crediblity. Scott Walkers bill leaves collective bargaining for wages in tact, and also calls for union dues to be >>>optionalmandatory<<<.

In addition it calls for a secret ballot vote by union members every year to decide whether to maintain or disband the union itself.

Your premise is flawed. Collective bargaining is simply a group of employees who have gone through the steps to elect an entity to represent them. It can be a national union, or it can be an independent organization.

In most states, there is no obligation to join a union. Pretty much all of the rest of your post is just subjective. Collective bargaining does not mean anything other than what is covered under the guidelines from the NLRB (which, coincidentally specifically exempts local and state government employees from the federal right to collective bargaining).

Those regulations do not say anything about running closed shops, which you are referring to. Those are governed purely through state by state laws. Some have them, some don't.

If you're going to argue against collective bargaining, at least use factual arguments, not biased stuff like that.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
