An Ohio House panel approved a measure Tuesday curbing collective-bargaining rights for 350,000 state public workers, softening several measures that some Republicans opposed while strengthening other restrictions.
The most controversial amendment would enable public workers to opt out of paying union dues. Currently, workers who don't want to join a public-employee union can pay a lower dues rate. Public unions would also have to obtain consent from members in order to use dues for political purposes.
Now you cannot be FORCED to either join the UNION and pay up, or NOT join the union, and still pay up. If I do not want to be in the union, I shouldn't be represented BY the union, nor pay the union anything!
Additionally, Union dues should be used to support union workers, not political parties. That's probably why they are being so heavily challenged now. If they had stuck to supporting their members and working with the employers to make it better for all, this wouldn't be an issue right now. Since they are now using money collected from it's members for political purposes, for political purposes, the members should have the right to decide whether they support the political party the union has decided to back.
