Union Image Woes Will Continue

A March 14 article in the Detroit Free Press noted that (likely) incoming UAW president Bob King will contend with the union’s “image woes.” King will fail at this task, because unions in America today — through the assistance of the iron fist of government — are legally permitted to violate the unalienable rights of their employers. How so? No individual — whether bargaining individually or collectively — has the alleged “right” to keep a job that he or she refuses to do, which is the essence of striking. In other words, just as an employee has the moral right to resign from a job, an employer has the moral right to fire employees for not doing their jobs to the employer’s satisfaction. But today, union-supported laws — backed via the government’s armed threat of prison — generally make it difficult if not impossible for employers to legally exercise their unalienable right to fire union employees who aren’t doing their jobs. So long as unions and government work together to immorally initiate force against their fellow human beings, they richly deserve all the scorn they receive for their legalized thuggery.
