\nManny Lopez from the Detroit News<\/i> comments<\/a> on the United Autoworker (UAW) union hierarchy’s "new" strategy of organizing workers, (i.e. using even more intimidation and harassment to force additional workers into their dues-paying ranks):\n<\/p>\n

\n

\n\tBob King, the new president of the UAW was stumping for democracy yesterday, and you’d think that it would be hard to corrupt such a thing.\n\t<\/p>\n

\n\tBut he did. See, democracy to the unions means do it our way, or no way.\n\t<\/p>\n

\n\tKing said the UAW will try a new tactic to organize foreign automakers. The membership-declining union is going to draft a set of principles that will bar companies from using derogatory, untruthful or threatening statements to dissuade workers from organizing (as if that was a one-way street).\n\t<\/p>\n

\n\t"Any company that does not agree to the UAW principles is essentially declaring war on freedom of speech and assembly," he said.\n\t<\/p>\n

\n\tTa-da, the "shame campaign" (my interpretation, not his).\n\t<\/p>\n

\n\tThose that don’t sign on will be labeled as being against the First Amendment.\n\t<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\nBut as Lopez correctly points out, UAW union hypocrites seem the least bit interested in protecting Michigan workers’ rights to also not<\/i> be forced to associate with something they want no part of:\n<\/p>\n

\n

\n\tIn fact, the UAW’s push for freedom could be a good thing if it were universally open to such a thing. How about the UAW abide by its own new interest in openness and allow its members in Michigan and other forced unionism states to also have the freedom to decide whether they want to be in the union?<\/a>\n\t<\/p>\n

\n\tI’ll buy into the UAW’s campaign for the First Amendment and the freedom of speech and assembly when it gives its workers in every state that same opportunity.\n\t<\/p>\n

\n\tHow about it Mr. King? Let’s make Michigan a right-to-work state. Or is the freedom to choose limited to certain circumstances?\n\t<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\nAnd not only would Right to Work protections be great for workers’ rights, it would also be good for their wallets<\/a>.\u00a0 Now that’s a "new" strategy Michigan’s families could support.\n<\/p>\n
