I absolutely agree free riders are a problem with unions.

But that doesn't mean right to work laws shouldn't exist. Maybe it just means unions shouldn't exist.

I mean, if your entire business model is flawed, should the world change around your business model?

This is more of a devil's advocate position, as I'm not particularly anti-union, but I personally have zero desire to work in a union or be forced to be in one.

I refuse to say that unions have no place in the world, or have no place in certain industries, or didn't have a place in the past. I'm rather neutral on a lot of it, but the fact is the problem is inherent in the union itself.
