Bernie Sanders is having a rough month. Last week it was revealed that he was cutting staff hours in order to provide the $15 dollars an hour he is demanding from American employers. Now someone has lodged an anonymous complaint against the campaign, alleging retaliation for union activities.

Elizabeth Warren campaign staff votes to unionize

Posted by William A. Jacobson on June 04, 2019 20 Comments

Elizabeth Warren has been getting a lot of good press lately as she rolls out a series of dramatic proposals to fundamentally change the society she views as rigged. These proposals, far grander than anything even Obama proposed, get her into the news cycles, but it's not clear that it's caused more than a minor bounce in her popularity.

Mandatory Bar Association dues for political activity may go the way of similar union dues – away

Posted by William A. Jacobson on December 03, 2018 17 Comments

In Fleck v. Wetsh, review by the Supreme Court was sought of an 8th Circuit decision denying a challenge to North Dakota's mandatory Bar Association dues, some of which went to political activities not directly related to Bar membership. Note that this has nothing to do with licensing of attorney, as such. Rather, a majority of states require that in addition to registering with the state licensing authority (often the state Supreme Court), bar members also must register with the private Bar Associations. That's the way it is in Rhode Island, I'm required to pay my annual dues both to the state Supreme Court and separately to the Rhode Island Bar Association.

Sanders Introduces Legislation To Deprive States Of Right To Pass Right-to-work Laws

Posted by Fuzzy Slippers on May 13, 2018 31 Comments

As Democrats audition for their hoped for role as the new Congressional majority, the flow of progressive ideas just keeps coming. So far, they promise to raise taxes, to manifest from thin air "free" college and "free" healthcare, and to be legislative busybodies who monitor our speech, thoughts, and actions. Yay!?
