You guys do know what precedent is don't ya:

Arizona's laws will:

outlaw collective bargaining for public employees

outlaw automatic union dues (even for those who want it)

outlaw compensation for public employees who do union work

Think what this will mean for unions when only 7% of the private sector is unionized.

Gosh, are you telling me that the state's employees won't be able to VOTE "collectively" when the issue of their compensation comes up in general elections and such? Or to "bargain" in terms of which elected officials they vote for to represent their "collective" interests?

And are you informing me that those state employees who would so choose will be DENIED the right to have "dues" taken automatically out their checking accounts, and/or being prohibited from "automatically" paying such fees themselves each time they come "due"?

And are you telling me that they WON'T be paid for time spent NOT working on state business?

Man, that seems really RADICAL! How can unions expect to survive if they have to function on their OWN, apparently WITHOUT being propped-up by outside subsidies? This is TERRIBLE news...and one Hell of a "precedent"!

Hey idiot. The NLRB says you can organize. But here's the deal. Unions are nothing more than parasites now. They get you NOTHING yet take your money every month.

Unions are formed by intent and not by chance.

The working class and the employing class have nothing in common. There can be no peace so long as hunger and want are found among millions of the working people and the few, who make up the employing class, have all the good things of life. Between these two classes a struggle must go on until the workers of the world organize as a class, take possession of the means of production, abolish the wage system, and live in harmony with the Earth. We find that the centering of the management of industries into fewer and fewer hands makes the trade unions unable to cope with the ever growing power of the employing class. The trade unions foster a state of affairs which allows one set of workers to be pitted against another set of workers in the same industry, thereby helping defeat one another in wage wars. Moreover, the trade unions aid the employing class to mislead the workers into the belief that the working class have interests in common with their employers. These conditions can be changed and the interest of the working class upheld only by an organization formed in such a way that all its members in any one industry, or in all industries if necessary, cease work whenever a strike or lockout is on in any department thereof, thus making an injury to one an injury to all. Instead of the conservative motto, "A fair day's wage for a fair day's work," we must inscribe on our banner the revolutionary watchword, "Abolition of the wage system." It is the historic mission of the working class to do away with capitalism. The army of production must be organized, not only for everyday struggle with capitalists, but also to carry on production when capitalism shall have been overthrown. By organizing industrially we are forming the structure of the new society within the shell of the old.
