[QUOTE="Jones, post: 866392, member: 4805"] The NLRA was passed in 1935, and Article 7 defines the protected activities in the following manner: [I][SIZE=3][FONT=Arial]Employees shall have the right to self-organization, to form, join, or assist labor organizations, to bargain collectively through representatives of their own choosing, and to engage in other concerted activities for the purpose of collective bargaining or other mutual aid and protection. [/FONT][/SIZE] [/I][FONT=georgia][SIZE=2]The NLRA[/SIZE][/FONT] survived a constitutional challenge in 1937 (NLRB v. Jones & Laughlin Steel Corp) so yes, it is in fact a constitutionally protected right to form a union and collectively bargain. Just to be clear, I emphatically do not believe that the only rights we have are the ones specifically listed in the constitution, nor did the Founding Fathers (they believed that men had inalienable rights). The UDOHR is absolutely relevant to this discussion because it lists rights that all free people can and should have. The fact that the only countries to abstain from signing it were the old Soviet Bloc should speak volumes. You're in fine company, Comrade :wink2:. As far as my own opinions on specific contract negotiations, eh, I'm not really sure how that's relevant. Sure unions will make mistakes and do some dumb things, that's a given. But that's one of the consequences of real freedom. IMHO it's not a valid reason to strip workers of their rights. [/QUOTE]
