Right-to-Work Law Means Less Money For Union Political Power Grabs

Right-to-Work Law Means Less Money For Union Political Power Grabs [Michigan Capitol Confidential]
"One of the main effects of right-to-work laws is that they lessen the abilities of unions to wage expensive and economically harmful ballot campaigns. In fact, that may be the main outcome of the legislation.
Despite the doomsday scenarios, right-to-work laws do not eliminate unions.
States like Nevada and Iowa have high unionization rates, while allowing workers to choose whether or not to send money to unions.
What does change in these states is the amount of time and money labor unions spend on politics."
