Who's freeloading off a labor union? As typical, you arent making any sense..

People are paid by the corporations for the work they do, not the unions

But President Roosevelt signed into law overtime pay, something that Republicans in Congress are working on abolishing. If you're a company owner, you can't help but be in very strong support of doing that.
