Why is this a front page story. Alleged "big labor" represents less than 7% of the private workforce. UNAP is a small union that got its start organizing the nurses at Rhode Island Hospital. A union enforced collective bargaining agreement is the only way most employees are protected from being disciplined, including being terminated, without cause. The union's only chance to be an effective force in the workplace is for the employees in the "bargaining unit" to support it. This includes financial support and not just for collective bargaining, grievance and arbitration costs, but also to fund union effort to secure favorable legislation related to working conditions. Employees in the bargaining unit that refuse to contribute to these efforts only weaken the union's ability to protect employees from being subjected to unfair working conditions and discipline. The National Right to Work Foundation's purpose when it supports efforts such as Ms. Geary's is to further weaken unions, which are already in danger of becoming irrelevant in the private sector. An Employee's successful ability to refuse to support the collective bargaining rights of fellow employees is nothing to celebrate.
