Union, firm, forced to pay $10K to trucker who refused to make political donation

Union thuggery is multi-faceted.

From the Washington Free Beacon:

One of the Democratic Party's largest political contributors must pay a former employee who was fired from his job because he refused to donate to a union political action committee (PAC).

The Laborers International Union of North America (LIUNA) and Penn Line Service agreed to pay a West Virginia man $10,000, acknowledging that he was wrongfully terminated from his job after refusing to make the political donations.

"Bulldozing someone into contributing to a union PAC that violates their sincerely-held beliefs is unconscionable," said Mark Mix, president of the National Right to Work Committee. "No worker should ever be forced to pay union dues or fees for a cause in which they disagree."
