Janus Solution [View all]

[FreeJoe]

There is a fair chance that the right is going to succeed in their attack on public sector unions with the Janus case. It will allow workers to get the benefits of union representation while not paying dues. Here's my proposed solution. Instead of paying the workers and then hoping that they'll use some of that pay for their union dues, how about having the state directly compensate the union? Then it isn't the worker's money so they can't withhold it. The state benefits from having a unionized workforce, so it makes sense for them to fund it. Would it work?
