“If Michiganders can keep the momentum going this year, they may soon have their Right to Work law back.”
With some Democrats and liberal pundits proclaiming that forced unionism at automobile plants in Right to Work states is the solution to what ails the American car industry, it’s critical to understand just how the United Auto Workers’ monopoly union power destroyed workers’ productivity in Michigan.

“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.
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.
