Here Comes the Lame Duck Legislation

And...we're back.  Another 1,200 miles in the books over three days, but good times.

This story popped up the minute I turned my laptop on (from Big Government):

Back in June, we reported that California Congressman Brad Sherman (D) was circulating a letter to his fellow Democrats to introduce legislation to repeal “Right-to-Work” laws in 22 states. Now, with less than a month before the mid-term elections and five weeks before a lame-duck session in Congress, Sherman has introduced legislation to eliminate state Right to Work laws all across America.

Currently, there are 22 states in the U.S. that have laws where workers who are employed at companies that are unionized have a choice whether or not to join or pay the union. These states are known as Right-to-Work states.

On the other hand, in the 28 Non-Right-to-Work states (also called forced-dues states), it is legal for a union to negotiate a “union (income) security clause” that requires all workers covered by the union to pay the union does or ‘agency fees’ as a condition of employment. If the workers refuse to pay the union, under a “union (income) security clause,” the union can have them fired from their jobs.

The House is in recess until November 15, so nothing is going to be done on this matter until the lame duck session when many, many Democrats will be returning to clean out their offices and lay off their staff members...and try and ram through legislation like the one in this story plus stuff like cap-and-trade and card check, another union giveaway.

Look out...
