Liberty for All's Position
Liberty For All supports freedom of action and forced unionization represents modern day worker discrimination. Freedom of association is a core constitutional principle and this bill would continue to strengthen those rights. By only outlawing compulsory union membership, this bill balances the rights of workers as it would not prevent unions from voluntarily organizing but would simply allow each individual employee the choice to join or not.Current Status
The committees assigned to this bill sent it to the House or Senate as a whole for consideration on February 4, 2013.
