Is that not the definition of free-loading - taking advantage of others' efforts while contributing nothing?
Again, federal labor laws are not authorized by the Constitution.

I agree, but unions should not be given special benefits and privileges by the government, on any level. A business should not be forced into a union if they do not want to be. And they should be able to choose whether or not they want to have both union and non-union employees.
If unionism is such a good idea, then why do you have to force people to join?
