[QUOTE="PobreCarlos, post: 931960, member: 16651"] You just hit the nail on the head as to why those who aren't inclined to pay union fees are NOT "freeloaders"....and why, in fact, the opposite is true. The reality is that, collectively bargaining on their own and on the basis of what they're actually worth (i.e. - the value of the labor of a minority of one hundred members), the minority union members probably won't get far. So, instead of the union expending the effort toward making itself more valuable to those otherwise disinclined to join (say by making available recognition to those who's labor is worth more than the mean, or promoting the industry so jobs actually ARE perserved) and creating a VOLUNTARY majority, it normally chooses to use union-favorable law to "freeload" on the backs of those who, left to their own devices, would not choose to support and/or be represented by the unions in the first place. Not really blaming the unions for taking this approach; their bureaucracy is as much concerned as any other entity in self-survival. But when you start hearing thems speak of "freeloaders", then it's time to take what they say with a LARGE dose of salt. [/QUOTE]
