#2 More sleazy proposed legislation coming from the Dems. Forced dues as a condition of employment even though the worker might want to opt out of the union? Reads like the Tax Penalty for not having health insurance under ObamaCare. That doesn't seem like it would pass Constitutional muster.

Having to pay dues that go to supporting the union candidate--usually a Dem is coercive. Suppose you don’t support the union political candidate? This legislation should be strongly opposed.

#4 Mussolini smiles. A partnership of labor, business and the (Fascist) government will be imposed on all levels of the economy to promote "Progress".

#6 Do you remember the Orwellian NewSpeak titled Employee Free Choice Act of 2009 ?

First they make union membership compulsory. Then: Mussolini smiles as everything is a “partnership of government, unions and business”. They tride one way in 2009 and they are trying a different tactic now.

#7 Dunno about States Rights defense. Feds have expanded power greatly using the Commerce Clause. I can see them using it here. (Assuming the Senate passes it and Trump signs it - better be a non-starter in both cases). Now with a Donk win in 2020 it'll be done by ukase.

#9 Borders really close on involuntary servitude to the unions.

#10 Senate won't pass it.

That’s the bottom line — Abu Uluque and Crusader nail it. And the House Democrats know this, so it’s just kabuki theater for the rubes — the same nonsense we used to get excited about when House Republicans passed similar no-go legislation back when Barack Obama was president.
