The majority of union workers today are public sector union employees. They are not private companies. They are funded by the taxpayer - actually underfunded. In essence, wages are inflated as there isn't bargaining in good faith. The dues are simply taxpayer graft.

Here's what I said, in plain language, just for you:
The union works to procure better working conditions and wages for its members.
Members pay dues to the union to fund these activities.
Let's say union members are paid $40/hr, while contributing dues to the union and to their pensions.
Why should someone who is not paying dues be paid $40/hr?
Would you like it if you were a union member and your co-worker wasn't, but was being paid the same?
In other words, your co-worker is reaping the benefits of a union without paying for those benefits.
I thought conservatives were all about paying their way and not sucking off of others?
If you are a public union worker that is exactly what you are doing. Your "job" wouldn't exist without us. We don't get a say in your pay, extortion via your union.
Please show me then. Maybe a chart that isn't 6 years old. Thank you
