Thompson takes when he asserts that ntffnion aXus'Wnd W whole Tight to work' move- met We cannot accept this oversimplification of the issue. What after all Is the 'union-busting' potential of such laws? K rests uSn thelhaky assumption that workers of great num 5 wiuCluntarily slit their own economic throats refus mTto support the unions which bring them benefits; that, in Sder to 2Kb dues, they will throw away good wages, good working conditions and various fringe benefits. "On the contrary, we believe that only a few dissidents usually oppSed to unionism on principle-would refuse , to suDDort a truly beneficial union. Such dissidents are well rep Sd bytoose gentlemen who recently took out an ad in a New York newspaper to say that joining a union or any other assodation with unbelievers' is 'in violation of the Word of cSr They quoted St Paul: Be ye not unequally yoked with unbelievers.' Such views are relatively rare. "But there Is the case of the union that does not really serve its members. Without the stranglehold conferred by the lezal privilege of Section 14(b) such a union really is vulner ablf to 'busting.' And who will weep over it? Is it really an 'antl-union animus' to suggest that the workers should have the right to -rote with their feef (i.e., walk out) when the union does not do them any good?" Without the protection of 14(b), it seems to us, many work ers must "join a union or starve." This cannot be right in a free nation and certainly is a form of discrimination against a person's beliefs, Just as surely as if it were a prejudice againt his color.
