Unions had their place in our history, but the times have changed. Every time a state goes right to work people fly out of the Union. If membership was so good, people would be fighting to get in.
I have 2 brothers who are public teachers in CT. One is a staunch Catholic. When he found out that a portion of his dues were going to Planned Parenthood, he successfully sued to get out of the union. He taught in Litchfield county at the time. We were roommates then, and boy you should have heard the anonymous messages that these tolerant liberals left on our machine.

CT will never, ever be right to work. North Korea will vote right to work before it ever happens here.
