Default Government bill passes forcing unions to make spending public

Admittedly I'm not a pro-union guy for the most part and further I don't know a whole lot about this bill other than a few news articles I've read. Unions have always seemed to me, at least in this day and age, like legal mafia.

From the little I know I'm all for it but it does seem to me like a pretty big deal. Would be interested to hear some opinions about this. Myself, I don't see a downside.

I'm not at all trying to start a union-bashing thread. It seems to me that pro-union folk and especially those dishing out union dues from every cheque would love to know how the big boys are spending their money.

The star article is here

Another article titled "Labour unions say Tory bill unfairly targets them" is here.

One more from the Globe and Mail where critics say the bill is harassment is here.
