Time to Tackle Right to Work

American Thinker: Time to Tackle Right to Work
"But there is another vital reason why these five states should adopt right to work laws.

States with right to work laws have lower unemployment rates than states without right to work.

Unions are, in every sense of the word (except raw power for leftist bosses), an anachronism.
Union dues come out of the income of union workers, reducing their real wages.
Union contracts increase labor costs for employers and so induce businesses to leave for places which allow market forces to determine terms of employment.

The cumulative effect for highly unionized states, like Michigan, is nothing short of calamitous.

As unemployment rates rise and people leave for greener pastures, home values drop and companies forced to operate manacled by union contracts go belly-up."
