Michigan Workers and Families Have Been Hurt
“If Michiganders can keep the momentum going this year, they may soon have their Right to Work law back.”
Not only does Right to Work free workers from compulsory unionism, it is directly responsible for new jobs in Indiana. According to Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels, he is having conversations with 31 companies because Indiana lawmakers passed the Right to Work Act. From Eagle Radio:
“We’ve already signed new agreements with three companies. One announced and two to come soon,” said Daniels. “There are 31 companies as of Friday night now in negotiation roles who have identified right to work as a major, if not the major, factor in their interest in Indiana.”
“With its low tax environment, robust infrastructure, superb logistic support network and right-to-work status, Indiana was a no-brainer location for us,” MBC Group president Eric Holloway said in the statement.
MBC – with its headquarters already based in Indianapolis – announced last month it plans to create up to 101 new jobs at the former J&J Packaging plant … “I probably underestimated how important an addition to our already excellent business climate (right to work) was going to be,” Daniels said.
“If Michiganders can keep the momentum going this year, they may soon have their Right to Work law back.”
On average, forced-unionism states are roughly 22% more expensive to live in than Right to Work states. And decades of academic research show that compulsory unionism actually fosters a higher cost of living.
Under current law, union dues are often extracted from Idaho teachers’ paychecks without their active consent.
