How would you react if your employer informed you he would be taking a modest cut from your paycheck each month for his political action committee? What if he told you that if you try to opt out of this arrangement he’d hassle you and might fight you all the way to the Supreme Court?

Did you know that labor unions already do this? And for the most part, they have been getting away with it. That’s why it’s heartening to see a new report, from the Washington Examiner‘s Sean Higgins, that Republicans plan to take up federal labor law if they win the Senate in next month’s elections.
