Collective bargaining is simply another burdensome tax on the average citizen, I do not want to be compelled to fund a bureaucratic organization that won't necessarily have my best interest in mind with my own hard-earned wages.

The right to work and for one to voluntary participate in the work place is vital to maintaining individual liberties in Virginia."
