Would have been nice if he thought upholding precedent was just as important when he was deciding which way to go on the Janus VS AFSCME case in 2018. That one was all about eviscerating prededence that was set when a good portion of the court was already practicing law (as in it was not so long ago).
If I were in charge of unions, here is the deal I'd propose with states and the federal government. Unions only represent those people who choose to have the unions collectively bargain on their behalf, and they only collect fees from those individuals. But, the trade off is, union representation doesn't require a majority or a certain number of employees in the work place. If a singe person, or two people want to hire a union to collectively bargain for them, the employer has to negotiate with that union.
You get rid of the nasty fights where employers keep a union out due to intimidation or otherwise.
It gets the unions in the door, maybe only with 25 or 30% of the work force initially, but if they are worth the money, more people will sign on.That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

Couple interesting ones today.
Good news to the IP attorneys and trolls out there, adding .com to a generic word can be trademarkable. 8-1 with Breyer dissenting.
The more far reaching one is the tax credits for religious schools one out of Montana. 5-4 for the conservatives saying that Montana could not forbid tax credits for people donating to religious schools, but the opinions are all over the place. Roberts wrote the majority, but there are literally 8 opinions. Kagan was the only one who didn't write one.

But be my guest and continue with the way that's worked so well in unionizing the US workforce.That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

But be my guest and continue with the way that's worked so well in unionizing the US workforce.
“Hey! We want better pay, health care and retirement benefits!”
”There’s only 20 of you and 80 others willing to work for what we offer. F- off.”
”We’ll go on strike!”
”Be our guest. Won’t affect us. In fact, don’t come back, we’ll just hire 20 other people.“
Again, collective bargaining only works when it’s the collective. In my job, if we go on strike, everybody goes on strike. Drivers, Rampers, Loaders, Clerks, and even the Pilots. It’s the only way it works.U-A-A!!!Go!Go!GreenandGold!

Originally posted by FadeToBlack&Gold View PostI don't know what the solution is, but I do know that the current method of spending millions in member dues on big, glossy campaigns to unionize other organizations doesn't sit well with a lot of non-union employees.
But, Labor does rely upon strength in numbers. The more people in the union, the more leverage you have through tactics like sympathetic work actions.U-A-A!!!Go!Go!GreenandGold!

Originally posted by Jimjamesak View Post20% of zero is still zero. And under your scheme zero is the exact amount of leverage any unionized employees would have. What exactly could they negotiate for if it’s only 20% of the workforce?

But I'm going to disagree with you on the rest of it.
First, not everyone goes out. My daughter was/is in the nurse's union in the Twin Cities, and when that union called a strike she said that a majority of the nurses crossed the line.
Also, 20% is a huge number. I can't have 20% of my employees gone without it causing major problems. You ever see a meatpacking line or something like that operate with 80% or its employees? Very, very difficult to do.That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.
