243. While I see your point
that someone may try to use this in a future legal action. What I am seeing in this story are individuals who are saying they will not work. Is it bigoted? Maybe, it maybe a lot of things...it isn't a civil rights violation at this point, imo. Even if an employer can't participate in a contract because they don't have enough workers who will participate it wouldn't be. The employer is under no obligation to fire anyone for refusing to work. The union can't control individual employees beyond simply asking them to work and maybe threatening to dismiss them. I'm just not seeing this as any type of legal issue, civil or criminal. A violation would occur if someone is forced to work against their will.
