So, the unions strong-armed non-members, and didn't even negotiate better wages? With the unions, you lose/lose!

Liberal hero FDR thought there should be no public sector unions. Another liberal hero JFK bought votes by backing public sector union legalization.

"The union fees, in addition to member dues, are used to represent all employees, not just union members."

That above statement is a load of BS. The fees only represented the members who were Democrats. I hated seeing money being taken from my pay check being used to oust politicians I supported and promote the liberal agenda.

If they stayed completely out of politics then it would have been a s different story. The irony is that these liberal unions blindly support Democrats and their job killing policies.

Unions have become nothing more than a Liberal wing taxing authority. Paying them to promote their own agenda should be voluntary, just like supporting Conservative groups is.

"...the Supreme Court has again overruled decades of settled law to undermine critical protections for working families who have suffered from stagnant wages..."

If it was truly settled law then SCOTUS wouldn't have overruled it. Besides aren't the Dems the ones that tell us laws and rules are fluid. Also if the Dems were really concerned about stagnant wages then why do they keep letting in so many illegal immigrants which causes wages to be suppressed?

C'mon, Maryland. By now don't you know that Brian Froth is the world's authority on which laws are good and which laws don't meet his personal, distorted standards!

Come November, rally behind him and send him back to private practice chasing ambulances! He can join the ambulance chasing union.

Frosh is worried about hurting Families is a lie. He allows MD Politians rob our State Employee Retirement Fund and no payback. Frosh allowed MD Politians take away medical benfits for the Retired Seniors. So Frosh proves he is not worried about MD families. The Unions never fought against these policies made by the Liberal Democrats and Rogue Gov Hogan, who is a Democrat Liberal. Frosh does not know what is going on in MD.

Bite me, Mr. Attorney General. Now there is NEW settled law. If you have a law degree, then quit your whining. Law is law and SCOTUS has ruled that your "decades of settled law" were in fact, unconstitutional. Just because unions have gotten away with making political statements of endorsements for one political party, and making contributions to THEIR candidates with forced payments from union members, DID NOT MAKE IT CONSTITUTIONAL. A constitutional wrong has just been made right.

The "settled law" he refers to is the one that granted unions the right to collect union dues from their members (and non-members) in a union shop. When unions started using their members (and non-members) dues for political activism without the members (and-non-members) consent, including channeling the members dues to one political party, they crossed the line and made there previous right to collect dues in a union shop unconstitutional, as it violates members (and non-members) freedom of speech rights. But the AG comments will play well with all those easily duped democrat voters in Maryland. The AG sounds like he is running for something. He is a dope if he thinks he knows more about constitutional law than SCOTUS.
