Individuals should be free to make their own decisions about whether or not to join unions without union coercion backed up by governmental authority. Unions have historically used such coercive authority to prevent minorities from having competitive access to jobs, and continue to use such coercive authority in anti-competitive activity today. Such abuse only serves to hurt the less politically enfranchised members of the working class in order to benefit the more politically enfranchised members. This type of anti-competitive activity in the marketplace makes it less efficient and thereby impoverishes everyone.
