I was told this a long time ago: if communists had something valuable to offer, they wouldn’t have to force people to be communists (or kill people who didn’t want to be communists).
Same thing is true for labor unions: why do you have to force someone to join a union? If the unions added a net good, people would gladly join on their own.
A state fair police officer is suing his union because it won’t let him quit paying dues, challenging a common provision in California public employee contracts that forbids workers from leaving labor organizations while contracts are in effect…
Cooley’s case, similar to the other lawsuits, contends that the California State Law Enforcement Association is violating the principles of the new Supreme Court decision by rejecting his request to quit the union.
