Labor union sues Indiana, calls working alongside nonunion employees 'slavery'

"In a lawsuit against three Indiana government officials, a labor union alleged on Wednesday that its constitutional rights under the Thirteenth Amendment — which outlawed “slavery” and “involuntary servitude” — are violated whenever its members are forced to work alongside nonunion employees".

different no doubt but extreme laws require extreme solutions. this will indeed be an interesting case setting precedence might have a chance if the litigator's are not in the right wing back pocket, we already know the scotus is.

“In this case, the Defendants have exacted compulsory service and/or involuntary servitude from the Union through the combination of the passage of the Right to Work law and the existing federal requirement of the duty of fair representation,” the amended complaint reads.
