While we're at it I'd like free insurance and someone to negotiate my next raise -- without having to pay them.

So basically...a union has to bargain for you and represent you if you're called in by a manager but you're not required to pay anything for those services.
Of course they throw in key words like "freedom" and "choice" to make it sound like it's an amazing thing.
It's purpose has nothing to do with freedom, and it has everything to do with getting rid of those pesky unions that negotiate better wages & benefits.

Secondly, why should someone be forced to pay dues to someone just to work? That is the very definition of theft.

Will the wages/work rules he negotiates be ...
(a) higher
(b) the same
(c) lower
If (c) then you can see where this leads. Bangledesh here we come.

You realize this would simply allow a race to the bottom? Further eviscerating what's left of the middle class? A union negotiates a certain level of compensation and work rules, then someone comes in off the street (let's call him a "rugged individualist") and wants a job without having to pay (prolly less than 1%) dues. He doesn't want representation because he believes in freedommm!!!.
