The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

That eliminates management from offering benefits via third parties for employees.

It may have been the Texas statute that I read. It has been years, since I read it, but you can bet that the clause was crafted to take away all bargaining leverage from the employee, leaving the "JCs" will all the "cards".

It would also violate the First Amendment (freedom of association) by all workers.

As we all know, the "Bill of Rights" only constrains the Federal government. Some of those rights, have been extended to constrain state governments, by the judicial process of "incorporation".

In a private company, if you squawk, you get a lecture on "at will employment", meaning management does whatever it pleases to you, and your only option is to quit.
