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!!!.
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.
