If Congress wants to authorize a modified closed shop, where people are charged a small amount per pay period for the representation the unions provide, the unions could hire full time representatives and the volunteers could go back to their jobs. They won't do that, though.
Right. Most don't know the history of the labor movement. Why it was needed in the first place. Now the plan is to pit employee against their union. Old school union busting.
With so many soon-to-become-management stewards/officers "representing" employees; combined with a general ignorance of the labor movement: I'm afraid the ongoing union busting will accelerate.
