LABOR UNIONS & RIGHT TO WORK

[HairOfTheDog]

Unions should be extinct. There are enough state and federal labor laws in place to protect workers. Unions encourage employer blackmail.

I think economic crisis is causing a lot of people to reconsider the viability of Unions in the long term.

But, imagine the challenge of getting RTW legislation passed in a state with a Democratic legislature and/or governor, even if that state is losing jobs to RTW states and/or companies are going out of business. Re-election concerns vs. economic survival - the political influence of unions is significant.
