Was discussing this with my wife this morning. Our state voted down a proposal to become a right to work state and to me it seems like both sides have a compelling argument.

Making people pay union dues even when they arent union seems wrong but the unions do give workers bargaining power and some employers certainly take advantage of employees when legally possible so unions can sometimes protect against that.

My wife was saying though that unions can make her job difficult since an employee can do their job poorly or wrong but it can be very difficult to terminate them from their position if they are a union member as opposed to a non-union person. Ive certainly heard about that happening before and it does seem wrong.

Ive never dealt with unions myself so Im coming from a mostly ignorant place, but it seems like an issue that just about everybody has strong opinions about. What does potd think about them?
