'Right to Work' Laws Are Union-Busters in Disguise
Updated On: Feb 07, 2012

Feb. 7, 2012 | Commentator Andre Riggio explains why "right-to-work" (for less) laws are bad for workers: "Let's set the record straight here: The term 'right to work' is a lie and such legislation is a union-busting tool intended to help businesses, not employees... If you read the law[s] you will find that nothing, not a word in any of them, states or even implies that the law gives anyone the 'right' to a job. If you're a working-class American and thought these bills benefit you or give you easier access to work, well, you've been had." Full commentary here.
