"What unions seem to be asking for is governmental protection from the free labor market. They are attempting to collude with government to force workers to pay up or lose their jobs. Voluntary union membership is a fine thing. Forcing people to pay for membership to a club they do not want to join as a condition of employment is not in the best interest of freedom and liberty."
- ewillbefull 14y agoSorry, but no, you must have right to work laws confused with something else. The link you posted has nothing to do with the Libertarian Party, even a comment points out that the Libertarian Party has "not adopted a plank in favor of Right to Work laws" and that the column is "the opinion of the author". I quote from your link: > “We support the right of free persons to associate or not associate in labor unions, and an employer should have the right to recognize or refuse to recognize a union.” Right to work laws prevent employers from mandating joining a union. To support right to work laws would be to deny the freedom of contract between an employee and a worker. Your freedom of association from the government gives you the ability to choose among employers who may or may not force you to join a union. And if you get a job for a business that does not mandate union membership, you can still join a union, as that is an exercise of freedom of association.
