The libertarian Dime – Episode 80 – Busting Unions

This week, The libertarian Dime turned it’s, well, libertarian eye, to unions. Shane and Jonathan, once again joined by Josh Brady, talked about how unions and their cozy relationship with government has done more damage than good lately. While acknowledging the accomplishments of the past and recognizing the right of workers to freely associate, the show focused mainly on those times when government and unions have teamed up, such as with public sector unions, teacher’s unions, and the quid pro quo’s that happen when unions donate lots of money to political campaigns. Also, they touched upon Rand Paul’s clueless remarks about the Civil Rights Act.
