@Lee81 Sorry, went to bed last night so in answer to your questions... The Department of Labor has prosecuted union bosses for embezzling millions of dollars from members as well as found them to be involved in labor racketeering and organized crime within the union ranks. They have been fined, forced to pay restitution, etc. for these actions. In regards to your second question, yes, I think they always have the option to not work for a company if they don't agree with them. However, 16 of the 20 FDA approved birth control methods are covered by Hobby Lobby and the others should be available to them as well due to executive action by HHS secretary Sebilius.
@Chrisanna0508 Busy day today. Stupid meetings are keeping me from my all important bumping
Do you have a recent example of union corruption or are we talking about Jimmy Hoffa era? You're absolutely right that unions have a dicey past, I'm just not sure anyone still needs protection from the big bad unions and their collective bargaining.
The reason I asked my second question is because I don't understand how you can say people are being forced to work for a union employer in a non right to work state but that they are free to not work for Hobby Lobby if they don't agree with their stance on birth control.
