Schweikerendorsements spark push to exempt student workers
Senator Schweiker chosen as VP prospect after list of compatible beliefs. Seven Republican senators led by Paul Fannin propose a bill to exempt working students from compulsory union membership under the National and Railway Labor Acts. The law currently forces even student workers to join unions if they hold full time or temporary jobs with exclusive bargaining rights. A Joplin Missouri case saw a 16 year old forced to pay initiation fees and monthly dues to the Retail Clerks union to bag groceries on Sundays.

Fannin bill would tax students’ earnings to unions
The proposal targets full time students in secondary, vocational, or higher education, aiming to divert their wages from paying unions to funding school costs. Critics say only after ten years does pension rights accrue, and the Senate Labor committee, biased by pro union Democrats, will likely block amendments and keep job discrimination alive until public pressure ends it.
