Right to Assemble is no different than any other aspect of the USA Constitution and Bill of Rights; they are not just words on a page.
The picture above is not a union demonstration, it is a demonstration to prevent the former Bush administration from changing the management policies of The Mall in DC that would prevent the Right to Assemble. Seriously.
The National Mall is a national park and Bush assaulted the Right to Assemble on the National Mall through management of a national park. It never ceases to amaze me how much the Middle Class is hated by some political leaders. I mean it takes real hate to even attempt to redefine the management of The National Mall.
But, that is besides the point. The Right to Assemble is suppose to have a result. I don't know why people would assemble at all if there wasn't an 'end product' to be achieved.
Those that defend Right to Work policies surrender to outsourcing and admit they have no ideas to protect American workers. In doing so they assault unions to prevent their strategy from being defeated.
Right to Work does cause dissolution of unions. Unions thrive on Right to Assemble. They assemble their memberships to achieve solidarity. It is solidarity that is guaranteed by The Right to Assemble freedom of the USA. By dissolving unions the Right to Assemble literally dissolves with them. If unions thrive on Right to Assemble it means their ability to protect workers is important enough to ask for a portion of their dues from non-union members in the same work place that receive those benefits. It is a matter of fairness, but, also brings non-members to the appreciate the unions efforts.
If non-union members don't want to pay a partial amount of union dues then they shouldn't receive the benefits. It is the union members that only should receive the benefits. That reality will bring about a lot of problems in the work place. It is far better that co-workers are on the same 'status' when doing the same work. Why bother with laws like Lilly Ledbetter if there isn't same pay for same work. But, Right to Work removes that aspect of the work place. It literally places worker against worker to bring about an adverse outcome for both of them.
Right to Assemble is not simply a right to stand around talking. It is about COMING TOGETHER for a benefit for the group.
Right to Assemble = Solidarity
Right to Assemble was important enough to have it protected by the USA Constitution.
No Justice of any court should be looking at Right to Assemble as something that can happen even though Right to Work exists in the work place. Those two ideas are in opposition of each other and not compatible. Right to Assemble is far more protected in the work place in the form of a union than any Right to Work law. Right to Work removes the importance of equality laws. Right to Work is not a democratic initiative. It assaults our USA Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
