"Right to Work" is an extension of our natural rights endowed by our creator.


That was easy. Anybody got a problem with that?

This is America, and some people are starting to get on my nerves. What about you?

I believe that requiring a citizen to join a politically active organization (such as a union) violates the freedom of association guaranteed by the First Amendment.

What the ABS reporter failed to mention, and it is totally covered up by Govt. and the Unions is this simple fact.

Unions have gotten, via Democrat Party paid for influence, laws passed that set aside work for themselves with ´NO´ competition. There are also laws that require Union wages to be paid so overpaid Union workers have a guaranteed inflated pricing structure on a variety of work so they can be considered equals. The Unions also ´steal´ pensions money and give it mostly (95%) to Democrats to keep the circular money theft ring intact...and the union membership has NO SAY in who their money goes to...and when the Unions run short of cash the Democrats give them more...evidence Obama´s Stimulusk 75% went to Unions or Union run companies.

Get a clue folks, this is one of the most ugly scenario´s one can think of.

Right to work strips the Union of their dues and therefore their ability to participate in the corrupt graft and theft of workers money.

Unions need to be outlawed, it´s that simple.

Poorly written article. Then again, consider the source. Author does not even answer the question of the headline, only a broad brush definintion of intent. All the reader takes away is that right-to-work laws are divisive and the results of implementation (citing an obscure study) are mixed.

There are enough worker protection laws on the books at the present time. Unions have no place in a free society, other than to strangle and blackmail businesses and spend dues on political cronies and fat cat union bigwigs. If it´s not organized crime, I´m at a loss to say what is.

""Right-to-work" laws ... are a government regulation of the contractual agreements between employers and labor unions that prevents them from excluding non-union workers." - Wikipedia

As such, they are government intervention in private contracts. More Big Brother (on the ´conservative´ side).

Oddly, I just had the same thought as #6. Someone straighten me out--but gently, please.

Union bosses want money. Democrats see unions as piggy banks they can raid. Union bosses need members to pay dues so they can have money to buy democrats. Democrats need the union money to buy votes. Right to work interferes with that cozy arrangement so union bosses send out their goons with the backing of democrats to enforce their criminal activity, i.e., they want the workers by the short hairs and democrats pretend it isn´t happening. Every person in this country has a right to work without paying union thugs. I thought there was a movement in this country to reduce bullying. Yes, and right to work is part of that movement.

Fact Check. According to recent info, real wages in right-to-work states are higher Probably because no dues are taken out of the checks and union honchos don´t live so high on the hog.. Have no facts on pensions and health care to check to comment on them. In the 50s my sister convinced the office staff at her company to avoid the union because they would lose the flexibility the company gave them at work...unlike the glass plant workers who were unionized.

It´s a law that will cut union/democrat income in half. The mob will be adversly affected as well, but not as much, as they have far more outside revenue sources...

That´s true, poster #9, but it won´t stop the union workers from plastering "Pass RTW and your boss will cut your wages" on all the cars at a non-union business.

Let´s ask the 24 states that have Right to Work laws already.
