The Trump administration last week announced new rules increasing and improving union transparency. This is the right move, and it is something union members broadly support.

Unionized workers put millions of dollars each year into the organizations that represent them in the workplace. In many states, they are forced to contribute to unions from their paychecks as a condition of employment even if they choose not to join a union. In most union shops, none of the current workers have any say in establishing their union as the monopolistic entity bargaining on their behalf.
