I thought i had seen everything when it comes to liberal bullshit, but now the Huffington post is apparently deeply concerned about people "freeloading" off of unions, HAHAHA. How disconnected from reality does one have to be to write something this stupid? The entire liberal ideology is based on "freeloading." How do they think their favourite programs like obamacare, welfare, and foodstamps operate? I guess its acceptable so long as people are "freeloading" off of someone who isnt in the liberal voting block. Many state-supported home care workers in Illinois are represented by the union SEIU Healthcare Illinois-Indiana. Under the contract between the union and the state, all home care workers covered under the contract are required to pay a fee to SEIU to cover the expenses associated with bargaining, whether or not they want to be union members. This arrangement avoids what unions commonly refer to as freeloading -- that is, benefiting from the union's work without helping to underwrite it. Since unions have to represent all the employees in a particular bargaining unit, they commonly seek requirements in their contracts that all workers pay such "fair share" fees. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/06/29/harris-v-quinn_n_5542084.html
