Employers have a legal obligation to negotiate in good faith with unions which are the exclusive representatives of an entire bargaining unit. They have no such obligation to members-only unions. This is what the "right to collectively bargain" refers to in the context of US labor law. If you don't like the terminology, you can try to take it up with the NLRB, but it doesn't change the facts on the ground.
- stale2002 5y ago> If you don't like the terminology, you can try to take it up with the NLRB Well, I am talking to you here though right? And there is context here, to this subthread that you are ignoring/missing. If you want to say "Non union members cannot force 3rd parties to work with them, if they don't want to" Then yes I agree. But the context of this subthread was about the idea of who is or is not forcing people to do things. So, to get back to the point of all of this, I was initially responding to someone else who tried to claim "That's not exactly liberty". But it is liberty. Liberty is the idea of consenting parties, not being forced to do things. So yes it is liberty to say that people can join non-members unions, but that those non-members unions cannot force other people to do certain things. Do you understand the point and context of this all? It was about whether that is "liberty" or not, which just means who is or is not forcing others to be in the group, or forcing people to work with your group.
