Virginia Democrats block "right-to-work" repeal

The Democratic Party and some of our labor unions have turned into a circular firing squad, and Virginia is a good example.

In my America, repealing so-called "right-to-work" laws was a Democratic priority. But it isn't anymore. In fact, it's not even a priority among some unions, even though these laws harm organized labor. Some unions lately have shown how corrupt they are - by keeping industries and agencies closed in the name of the COVID-19 pandemic, thus costing their own workers their jobs and expanding authoritarianism. This is the precise opposite of what unions are supposed to stand for.

There has been a bill lately in Virginia to repeal that state's hated "right-to-work" law. This effort was supported by a few Democratic lawmakers. But now it's been blocked by Democratic leadership. The so-called leaders who blocked it are usually those supported by the same forces that have kept much of the world under some form of lockdown culture for a year.

In other words, corrupt unions support politicians who are hurting unions. Honest unions at least try not to.

Imagine if you can how these corrupt unions would react if there were laws that apply only to their unions. There should be a law that revokes the privileges of these unions - while protecting other unions. This would allow workers to join or form unions that actually represent their interests.
