Here's an interesting twist to free speech:
NOT forcing workers to pay union dues violates the union's
free speech:Attorneys for the International Union of Operating Engineers Local 150 argue in a court brief that Indiana's new law, which allows workers to not pay union dues even if a union bargains on their behalf, interferes with the union's free speech rights and "impinges on this fundamental right of union membership."
I'm not 100% sure this argument didn't come from our friends at
The Onion.
