On this episode of Disunion, host David R. Osborne welcomes Sarah Harbison of the Pelican Institute to unpack the high-stakes legislative drama surrounding Louisiana’s recent public-sector union reform bill.What began as a straightforward “opt-in” bill—requiring government union members to annually confirm their membership and allowing them to resign at any time—quickly turned into a political showdown. Despite early momentum and support from the governor, the bill was gutted in the final hours of the session, raising serious questions about union influence, transparency, and legislative process.Sarah and David explore how unions wield power behind the scenes, the First Amendment implications of restrictive membership clauses, and what it will take to bring meaningful reform back to the table in 2026.Whether you’re a policy junkie or a public employee looking to understand your rights, this episode is a must-listen.
