The article from Reason.com relates to the impact that the passage of Michigan's "Right to Work" law has had on unions, now that union membership is no longer mandatory for employees of certain organizations. The fact that many forced members leave the union when given a choice is very revealing.
However, that is not the reason this article was re-posted on End Run Blog. Within the details of the story lie a vivid example of the way politicians can be manipulated by the special interest groups who support them financially... and the unchallenged ability of politicians and bureaucrats to use force against the citizens for the benefit of their cronies.
Take note of the plight of relatives caring for ailing family members (for free) who were "legally" classified as Home Health Care Workers and forced to pay union dues which the government deducted directly from their Medicare/Medicaid checks. That is how our neighbors use government force to take money from our pockets and transfer it to theirs.
