Unions
Exploitation
- socialism has many roots – Karl Marx
- Marx: profit is the diff btw the value labors generate in a working day and the amt they are paid in wages
- For capitalism to work, workers are paid less than the amt of value they actually produce
- Since on Marx’s view labor is the only source of value, labors are deprived of value they create, which is rightly their own
- Thus profit means exploitation
Rand Formula – non union members must pay union dues, but need not be members
Rationale: employees might opt out of the union to save the cost of union dues, while nevertheless benefiting from the union’s past and present work
SCC rules: forced association is against Charter, so right was violated
