Groups Vow To Push ‘Right To Work' In Other States

Thursday, December 13, 2012


You asked about organizing to my comment on right to work and I answered.  

I can tell you what I've heard from workers who don't want to pay union dues and it's always about the money.  'If they don't have to pay then why should they' is their reasoning.  More money in their pocket.  It's kind of like if they paid for their $17 worth of groceries with a $100 bill and the cashier gave them $93 back without realizing the error, they would keep it and justify their windfall in some way.  They know that whatever gains a union negotiates at contract time they will reap the benefit of, too, no matter whether they pay dues or not, so why pay dues?  

This is hardly "much ado about nothing". The push for 'right to work' is to institute 'take backs' (wages and benefits and safety regulations and working conditions) along with breaking and eliminating unions and an assault on the Democratic Party and the progressive movement.
