anti-American labor unions

This story is disgusting:

Government workers in the state of Washington are being hit with a tough choice — if they want to keep their jobs, they have to join the union or pay a hefty union fee.

"I don't like being forced. I don't like being told either join the union or I lose my job," said state employee Sharon Mathews.

This certainly does not square with traditional notions of freedom in the USA.
