"The new law punishes businesses that choose to voluntarily recognize unions by forbidding them from receiving any grants, loans, or tax credits from state and local governments."

"It disenfranchises and demeans Alabama’s workers who want the freedom to improve their workplaces and their lives. And it also strips business owners of their freedoms by limiting how they choose to conduct their labor relations."

Thanks, that's a lot clearer. Couple that with they made an exception for those already unionized and the comment about perma-temps and the picture shows they are trying to kill future unions and wanting the current ones to die off. The union I was in was worthless where I was, but I heard it was very good in other areas of the US. I am not against unions at all. Where my union functioned well they were able to get managers transferred out that had difficult personalities.
