Unions Feel the Pain after SCOTUS Decision Stops the Flood of Cash

Ouch. How are union bigwigs going to continue to rake in their six-figure salaries and all those perks without the millions they’re losing?

The Wall Street Journal reported some rather staggering figures. Pennsylvania immediately stopped collecting from 24,000 employees, the 2017 equivalent of $6.6 million in dues. In New York, the total was 31,000 employees who contributed $9-10 million in 2017.

The Journal cited an estimate that New York state's public employee unions could lose $112 million when 200,000 employees forego agency fees.

But good old blue state Washington is trying to do its best to keep members from leaving the unions.

Bout time. No one should have to pay if they don't belong.

The Unions will just have to suck it up or charge their members more. LOL

Globalist Democrats threw American Workers overboard years ago. Their Open Borders policy and awful trade deals have decimated American Workers. I'm actually stunned so many Unions still support the Democratic Party. They're supporting a Party that doesn't give a shit about American Citizens. It's all about catering to Illegals and foreign interests now.

Idiots....like you........slam unions because.........well, because you're an idiot.

Unions have a substantial impact on the compensation and work lives of both unionized and non-unionized workers. This report presents current data on unions’ effect on wages, fringe benefits, total compensation, pay inequality, and workplace protections.

Some of the conclusions are:

• Unions raise wages of unionized workers by roughly 20% and raise compensation, including both wages and benefits, by about 28%.
• Unions reduce wage inequality because they raise wages more for low- and middle-wage workers than for higher-wage workers, more for blue-collar than for white-collar workers, and more for workers who do not have a college degree.
• Strong unions set a pay standard that nonunion employers follow. For example, a high school graduate whose workplace is not unionized but whose industry is 25% unionized is paid 5% more than similar workers in less unionized industries.
• The impact of unions on total nonunion wages is almost as large as the impact on total union wages.
• The most sweeping advantage for unionized workers is in fringe benefits. Unionized workers are more likely than their nonunionized counterparts to receive paid leave, are approximately 18% to 28% more likely to have employer-provided health insurance, and are 23% to 54% more likely to be in employer-provided pension plans.
• Unionized workers receive more generous health benefits than nonunionized workers. They also pay 18% lower health care deductibles and a smaller share of the costs for family coverage. In retirement, unionized workers are 24% more likely to be covered by health insurance paid for by their employer.
• Unionized workers receive better pension plans. Not only are they more likely to have a guaranteed benefit in retirement, their employers contribute 28% more toward pensions.
• Unionized workers receive 26% more vacation time and 14% more total paid leave (vacations and holidays).

This is going to seriously reduce the quality of life for most dem politicians. Unions spend many, many, many dollars funding dems so they can live far beyond their means...and support unions.

How unions help all workers

US Unions discredited themselves when they became slaves to the Democratic Party. In the end, they became corrupt Democrat lackeys. They could have survived if they had tried to be reach out to Republicans. But instead, they made them their enemy. Democratic Party leadership bought em, and then owned em. Their destruction was self-inflicted.
