But this malaise is part of a much broader social demobilization that is generational. There is little fight left in union members until they're faced with a Scott Walker. Rulers like Cuomo and Christy have likely learned that lesson and are going to be a lot more suave once they've waxed the killing floor. I hope we awake before that day. - TVeblen Fri, 06 Jan 2012 16:21:45 +0100 http://www.cepr.net/index.php/blogs/beat-the-press/indiana-governor-mitch-daniels-wants-to-tax-workers-who-support-unions#comment-13878 I really miss Izzatzo - Union Member Tue, 03 Jan 2012 12:44:45 +0100 http://www.cepr.net/index.php/blogs/beat-the-press/indiana-governor-mitch-daniels-wants-to-tax-workers-who-support-unions#comment-13873 As a worker, I may be highly productive, in a non-monopsonistic area, and really in no need of a union. My freedom to contract may be precious to me, and I choose not to join the union, and not pay the union fees. Why is forcing me to pay the fee not a violation of my freedom to contract? I think you have this one bass akwards....hmmm...is this due to the funding of CEPR...I can't help but wonder...how else could you twist this around. The contract that is restricted is one where management and the union collude to take my money. Since that is like a tax, and I do not get to vote in the union, that is essentially taxation without representation. Ask D.C. about that. - pete Tue, 03 Jan 2012 10:04:55 +0100
