Unions seek bargaining rights for National Guard members

HARTFORD, Conn. — Labor unions filed a lawsuit Monday seeking collective bargaining rights for Connecticut National Guard members on active state duty ordered by the governor, saying they should be entitled to organize the same way as civilian state employees.

A 1978 federal law makes it a criminal felony for members of the armed forces, including the National Guard, to join or attempt to form a labor organization. But the statute only applies to service members when they are on active federal duty ordered by U.S. military officials, according to the Veterans Legal Services Clinic at Yale Law School.

The clinic is representing four Connecticut state employees unions that filed the lawsuit against U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland and the Department of Justice. The lawsuit seeks confirmation that the law does not prevent National Guard members from unionizing while on active state duty and that they would not face criminal charges for doing so.

I have to believer Austin and Milley will support this disastrous idea.

Garland will simply agree to a "settlement" that, mirabile dictu, meets all of the unions' demands.

No.  Just no. 

While we're at it, forbid the unionization of all other government employees, including police officers and school teachers, or rather, since that is a violation of freedom of association, stop giving union contracts, get rid of police officers being allowed to have a union rep at disciplinary hearing, and of any other recognition of associations of government workers by government agencies.
