"Right to work" is a carefully crafted name.......... and "pro choice" isn't?
Pro choice would almost make you think liberals actually beleive that a woman has a right to control her own body........
But in the real world a woman sitting in the waiting room of an abortion clinic in New York can get her abortion because she has a right to control her own body..... but she can not drink a 32 ounce soda while she waits for it!
It seems drinking a 32 ounce soda is not included in her right to control her own body!
I have never been in a union but I am strongly behind any organizations that support the rights and needs of workers and their families. Without unions all we would have is the dirty laundered money of Wall Street barons. And we saw what they did to the country and to the world when we let them go off. We are STILL trying to recover from the last private sector disaster.
Then if right to work states have higher wages why are we not going after NON-UNIONIZED workers for their sponging of the system and their entitlements?
Let's try to get a brain folks, this is all the work of Wall Street billionaires using their front group ALEC.
Unfortunately the history of the last 35 years show an almost direct correlation between falling union membership and declining income for ALL middle class workers.
This was the plan of Reagan's War on Unions (aka War on the Middle Class).
Don't you people wonder why the same corporate rich people who crashed America are also behind the right to work for less laws? And why are they not debating these laws, do we live in democracy? Or a corporatocracy?
"Think4times replies: This is a tough one for me, I recognize the importance of unions, but I would never join one, nor would I ever want to pay union dues when I'm not in a union. This is where I let others duke it out while I sit back and hope that it doesn't get out of hand."
This is what is wrong with America. Unions built the middle class. Sure no union is perfect but if everyone stood back and said oh it is not my fight, then we all lose. Dude if think unions are good you should support them when you can.
Thats just it, although I understand the history and benefits, nobody I know likes them. I have heard many stories about lazy workers that are earning way more than they deserve just because of their union. I'm really not ok with that.
Why would I fight for union rights when I don't really like them?
"But many unions and companies have arrangements in which workers are required to pay union dues as a condition for employment, even if they don't join the union. Right-to-work laws make such agreements illegal."
T4T: My daughter didn't like unions until she started working as a background actor in NYC. Before she joined AFTRA and SAG she was paid minimum wage (try living on that in NYC). As a union actor she is paid a LIVING wage with overtime after 8 hours and other benefits such compensation for costume changes, meal pay, transportation to distant filming sites, etc. It made her rethink her position. She only works occasionally now that she's in school full time, but wouldn't dream of going back to working for minimum wage.
steady4ever replies: The corporations aren't greedy, it's the workers? China pays 1.30 per hour. If we got rid of the unions would you work for that so we could get out manufacturing back?

That story was about how Fox News contributor Steven Crowder and others were attacked by union thugs during the protest against the new "right-to-work" law. ABC, CBS and NBC covered the protests but only ABC made mention of police having to deal with protesters. None of them mentioned the attack on Crowder or showed the videos of that attack and the thugs tearing down a tent with people in it, both widely available on the Internet hours before the evening news show broadcast. No network quoted Teamsters head Jimmy Hoffa predicting "civil war" between lawmakers and union members.
How sad, that ABC, CBS, and NBC are so fearful of the truth being told.
The Republicans are Plutocrats who want only the wealthy to orchestrate the making of our laws and be the only ones to reap the benefits. How dare the Middle Class expect a decent living; don't they realize that only the 1 % wealthy matter!!

Thats where it came from.
I guess I really don't have the direct experience to make any in depth arguments for or against.

As for Crowder, it was unwise for him to show up to a hockey game carrying a teacup. Game misconduct for taunting.
