\nPerhaps due to their plethora of special privileges<\/a> under the law, union bosses frequently act and speak as if they were the actual government. Take AFSCME Maryland union boss Patrick Moran, who insultingly blustered<\/a> to the Baltimore Sun<\/i>,\n<\/p>\n

\nYou see, Moran’s government union — with the support of union-label politicians like Governor Martin O’Malley — wants the power to force nonmembers to pay for "services" they didn’t ask for and don’t want.\n<\/p>\n

\n\t"At some point we can’t be a charity," said Sue Esty, assistant director for AFSCME Maryland.\n\t<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\nUnion bosses want the special privilege effectively to tax independent employees as a condition of employment.\n<\/p>\n

\nOf course, union chiefs refuse to accept the easiest, most fair solution. Rather than lobbying for a new law forcing nonmember employees to pay so-called "fees" to an unwanted union, union bosses could work to repeal any sections of the law which supposedly require them to "represent" nonmembers.\n<\/p>\n

\nThe reason union officials will never accept this solution is simple: they just want the money.\n<\/p>\n

\n

\n\tThe fees could more than double the union’s annual income. Currently, the union collects about $3.8 million in dues from about 10,000 members a year.\n\t<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
