Book excerpt: Under union shop agreements, labor unions must establish strict safeguards and procedures for ensuring that non-membersâ€TM dues are not used to support certain political and ideological activities which are outside the scope of normal collective bargaining activities. The “union shopâ€ŗ or “agency shopâ€ŗ agreement essentially provides that employees do not have to join the union, but must support the union in order to retain employment by paying dues to defray the costs of collective bargaining, contract administration, and grievance matters. In a line of decisions, the Supreme Court has addressed this issue and has concluded that compulsory union dues of non-members should not be used for political and ideological activities which are outside the scope of the unionsâ€TM collective bargaining and labor-management duties when non-members object to such use. Seven Supreme Court decisions have held that such union dues exacted from dissenting non-members were not to be used for political and ideological purposes and would have to be refunded in an expedited way to dissenting nonmembers in accordance with proper procedural safeguards: (1) International Association of Machinists v. Street, 367 U.S. 740 (1961); (2) Railway Clerks v. Allen, 373 U.S. 113 (1963); (3) Abood v. District Board of Education, 431 U.S. 209 (1977); (4) Ellis v. Brotherhood of Railway Clerks, 466 U.S. 435 (1984); (5) Chicago Teachers Union v. Hudson, 475 U.S. 292 (1986); (6) Communications Workers of America v. Beck, 487 U.S. 735 (1988); and Lehnert v. Ferris Faculty Association, 500 U.S. 507 (1991). In the 105th Congress, bills have been introduced which would allow labor organizations to use these dues and fees for political purposes only when the employee affirmatively, in writing, so authorizes. Other bills provide that labor organizations disclose the amount of union dues and agency fees used for political purposes and other specified activities. Finally, there are some bills that would repeal those provisions that require an employee join a union as a condition of employment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why policymaking in the United States privileges the rich over the poor Can a country be a democracy if its government only responds to the preferences of the rich? In an ideal democracy, all citizens should have equal influence on government policy—but as this book demonstrates, America's policymakers respond almost exclusively to the preferences of the economically advantaged. Affluence and Influence definitively explores how political inequality in the United States has evolved over the last several decades and how this growing disparity has been shaped by interest groups, parties, and elections. With sharp analysis and an impressive range of data, Martin Gilens looks at thousands of proposed policy changes, and the degree of support for each among poor, middle-class, and affluent Americans. His findings are staggering: when preferences of low- or middle-income Americans diverge from those of the affluent, there is virtually no relationship between policy outcomes and the desires of less advantaged groups. In contrast, affluent Americans' preferences exhibit a substantial relationship with policy outcomes whether their preferences are shared by lower-income groups or not. Gilens shows that representational inequality is spread widely across different policy domains and time periods. Yet Gilens also shows that under specific circumstances the preferences of the middle class and, to a lesser extent, the poor, do seem to matter. In particular, impending elections—especially presidential elections—and an even partisan division in Congress mitigate representational inequality and boost responsiveness to the preferences of the broader public. At a time when economic and political inequality in the United States only continues to rise, Affluence and Influence raises important questions about whether American democracy is truly responding to the needs of all its citizens.
