RIGHT TO WORK-NOT A GOOD IDEA FOR WORKERS  

3/9/2017

0 Comments

 
“Right to work” sounds like a good idea. But in reality, these laws have nothing to do with providing rights or work. Right-to-work laws make it optional for workers protected by a Union contract to help pay for the expenses that the Union incurs while guaranteeing the rights of all employees. Why is that a big deal? By limiting Unions’ resources and weakening the ability of workers to have a say about their jobs, these laws drive down everyone’s wages, benefits, and overall living standards. Ignoring the facts, corporate-backed politicians are embracing these deceptive policies. They want to make every state a right-to-work state to increase profits for CEOs and hurt efforts to restore balance to our economy. With millions of Americans still unemployed, right to work is an ill-timed distraction from the issues that matter to the middle class—and the wrong choice for our states.  Of the 10 states with the highest poverty rates, 9 of them are so-called “Right To Work” states.

Alabama:  16.7%                    Louisiana:  18.3%                             South Carolina:  18.3%
Arizona:  15.2%                      Mississippi:  20.1%                           Tennessee:  15.0%
Arkansas:  15.9%                   Oklahoma:  15.6%                            Texas:  16.2%
