Right to work scores a major win in Wisconsin
2017-09-20
The Free Beacon updates us on the right to work movement in Wisconsin, where the state court of appeals has just delivered a major ruling which comes as a serious blow to the state's unions. The Badger State passed a right to work law back in 2015 which forbid companies from making union membership compulsory as a condition of employment, but the unions have been throwing their full weight into challenging the law and tying it up in court.

That may have finally come to an end this week as the justices tossed out one of their final claims. The unions argued that the law was somehow in violation of the state constitution, but the court found the argument unpersuasive.

Here is the best part of their communist/collectivist/statist argument

What made the unions' claim in this case so remarkably outrageous was the way they framed their objection. The plaintiffs claimed that the law deprived them of property without compensation. In essence, what they were saying was that a portion of every worker's paycheck was theirs by right and passing a law denying them their cut of the money was therefore unconstitutional.

That's right. Your labor and your compensation don't belong to you. It belongs to the special interest groups or the government.
So glad this was smacked down. Goddamn parasites.

The Union legal budget must only allow for pre-law drones. Maybe they should have gone the SPLC route?
