Friends:
My anecdote doesn't really mean much in the grand scheme being my own personal experience, but I was really grateful when Indiana passed this law. I was at Kroger at the time and they forced us into a union that was run by store management and did not side with employees on any given subject. The fees were taking a pretty good amount of my already miniscule paychecks. I'd rather see a law that prohibits this abusive use of unions by companies more than anything.
I assume downvotes are from people who think I'm lying, but I would love to hear from those downvoting what exactly their problem with this comment is? It was a store in Indiana, I'm not making anything up, and I'm not saying unions are all bad, I'm saying they shouldn't be allowed to be another strong arm run by the company.
It wasn't the company running it, it was because they signed a labor agreement so at that point you had to join the union as per the contract. Kroger may have informed you but it wasn't a "company union" which makes no sense.
Managers of Kroger were in the decision making positions of the union. Call that whatever the hell you like.
This looks like the union in question

It's been a decade or more, but that name sounds familiar.
