Today, four unelected warlords in Washington, DC, voted to stick guns in the faces of thousands of teachers so that union thugs could empty their pockets. After the government-backed, armed union thugs have done this, those same thugs will use the money to further their policies of armed seizure of people's money, either through exorbitant, unearned "wages" enforced against taxpayers at gunpoint, or the even more efficient (for them) way of simply siphoning 'union dues' from people who are not even in unions. The government's collectivist propaganda wing sums it up nicely here:

Ironic, of course, that they speak about teacher's union "dodging" a bullet, when the government's military-police establishment is precisely what enforces union plundering.
Unions gained power in the 1870's because people were working themselves to death. They were comprised of people who did hard, manual labor for what was barely a living wage. They had some kind of tiny, fractional point at the time, since the work was difficult, dangerous, and performed entirely in the private sector, where the public was not asked to subsidize worker's wages. Jobs like steel working come to mind. I suppose you could find a right to collective bargaining in the Constitution by putting a microscope on the right to free assembly and the fact of equal protection under law. However, the knife should cut both ways, and "scabs", a term I love - I would be happy to be a scab to earn money for my family - could simply cross the picket line and make their own deal.
Unions today will have none of this, and in contrast to the past, many unionized jobs, like teaching, are not manual labor jobs and are, in fact, paid for by tax dollars. It is ludicrous for a collectivized special interest group to plunder the public at will by demanding wages that are well above what the market would pay them. It is ludicrous to the squared for them to pilfer their fellow man by extracting dues from people *who aren't even in the union,* but that is precisely what the Supreme Court has allowed today.
If Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg came into your home and stole your television, she would at least be arrested. The union gang leaders who she voted to support *are paid by taxpayers and non-union workers to support these kinds of policies for their jobs.*
People wonder why this country gets so polarized at election time. It is because a tiny group of union leaders, journalists, government elites, and academics have built a paradigm of lies so all-encompassing that millions of people believe that outright plunder and extortion by groups like the National Education Association is somehow supporting the 'middle class.'
