The claim by an Indiana union that the state’s new right-to-work law violates their 13th and 14th amendment rights “expands the definition of chutzpah,” according to Mackinac Center Legal Foundation Director Patrick Wright.
Wright was cited on the matter in a Michigan Capitol Confidential story that was highlighted by The Daily Caller.
The union says that because right-to-work “requires dues-paying members to work alongside non-union personnel,” union members are subject to slavery.
“Compulsory membership and coerced dues and fees are the hallmarks of the union movement, yet they claim that giving workers more choice is an act of enslavement,” Wright pointed out.
