General Information About Right to Work
- Right to Work is about freedom only in this way: It’s about taking away the freedom of working people to join together.
- Right to Work is wrong. It is an unnecessary, unfair government overreach into the workplace that distracts from the real and serious issues facing our state, including low wages and lack of relief from COVID-19.
- Right to Work is being promoted by a well-coordinated network of out-of- state billionaires, super PACs, and corporate special interest groups that are down-sizing, shipping jobs overseas, and hiding profits offshore to avoid paying the same taxes families and small businesses must pay.
- Right to Work laws allow the rich and powerful to continue to rig the rules against working families.
- Right to Work laws give even more power to big corporations at a time when CEO pay has grown hundreds of times higher than what the average worker makes.
- Backers of Right to Work claim that it protects workers against being forced to join a union. Federal law already makes it illegal to force someone to join a union.
- Right to Work laws take away our freedom to join together to negotiate a fair return on our work.
- Workers deserve real rights and real freedom, the freedom to have a voice at work without fear of retaliation.
