Will Idaho Bust Big Labor Collection Racket?
Under current law, union dues are often extracted from Idaho teachers’ paychecks without their active consent.
CNBC has rated Right to Work state Virginia as the best state to do business in America.
The Governor credits the state’s Right to Work status as a key component to success. Governor Bob McDonnell“Our focus, from day one of this administration, has been to put in place the policies that will help private sector businesses create those jobs in the Commonwealth and get our economy back on track,” he said. “We’ve done that by keeping taxes low, getting government spending under control, having a strong Right to Work law, and making smart investments in transportation, economic development and higher education.”
Four of the top five states to do business in America are Right to Work states. All of the worst five states to do business in America are non-Right to Work or compulsory-unionism states.
Under current law, union dues are often extracted from Idaho teachers’ paychecks without their active consent.
“...Right-to-Work is overwhelmingly popular with the commonwealth’s citizens, and states with such laws typically enjoy far faster employment growth and substantially higher cost-of-living-adjusted disposable incomes than forced-dues states.”
In addition to helping make the necessities and amenities of life more affordable, Right to Work laws help keep individual and family aggregate state-local tax burdens from spiraling out of control.
