PSI The Free-Rider Problem - full version Free riders are people who avoid paying for things because these things are ‘non-excludable’ — they are available to everyone, whether or not they have paid. The extent to which the presence of free riders is actually experienced  as a problem by union members and activists, and therefore the importance which union security practices have in each country, depends on the history and traditions of trade unionism in each country. Unfortunately the academic debate on the union free rider problem is rather specialized, both in its approach (drawn overwhelmingly from labour economics) and its subject matter (workers and employers in the USA). www.world-psi.org /TemplateEn.cfm?Section=Whats_New&CONTENTID=2995&TEMPLATE=/ContentManagement/ContentDisplay.cfm

News & Politics This is not only bad policy, it is bad politics, and their irresponsible actions may cost the party in November." Among other actions, HRC spent $75,000 on a radio, television and print ad campaign to hold specific Republicans accountable for their opposition to hate crimes legislation. A House - Senate conference committee on October 5 agreed to drop from a defense spending bill a hate crimes rider, which among other provisions would add sexual orientation as a protected category under federal hate crimes law. But we have a GOP leadership that has instead turned their backs on hate crime victims and their families and acted against the wishes of the House, the Senate and an overwhelming majority of the American people [about 2/3, according to recent polls]. www.planetout.com /pno/news/article.html?2000/10/05/1

Reaction Of Senator Patrick Leahy To Senate Passage Of The Farm Bill - May 8, 2002 The Leahy-Snowe bill would repeal the organic rider, restoring what USDA has called “the most comprehensive national organic standards in the world.” Counterpart legislation to repeal the rider will be introduced in the House by Rep. Sam Farr (D-Calif.) and others. The organic industry, ranging from all-organic companies such as Forestrade Inc. of Brattleboro, Vt., to major corporations such as Tyson Foods, have united to oppose the organic rider and to support the Leahy-Snowe bill. The bill repeals a rider in the recently enacted Omnibus Appropriations Act which undermines the four-month-old national organic standards, overseen by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). leahy.senate.gov /press/200302/022603.html   (510 words)

Six months later, on December 15, Gramm curiously turned up as co-sponsor of a bill with the same name, the Commodity Futures Modernization Act, which did deregulate energy futures and which, without undergoing the usual committee hearings and preliminary votes, was immediately attached as a rider to an 11,000-page appropriations bill.
