Oregon Punishes the Freedom Foundation Public-worker unions and their allies go to great lengths to protect union power, and now they’re trying to censor critics. A new Oregon law is targeting a think tank that informs workers of their First Amendment right not to pay union fees. https://www.wsj.com/opinion/oregon-punishes-the-freedom-foundation-471ff91b?mod=opinion_lead_pos2
