Mobilization Frustrates Forced-Dues Scheme
As soon as Democrat politicians seized full control over Richmond last November, Big Labor bosses began demanding that forced union dues be brought to the Commonwealth of Virginia.
Newly-elected Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell understands the impact the Card Check Forced Unionism bill would have on the economy:
“I think binding arbitration is actually the most egregious part of EFCA,” he said. “Allowing a federal arbitrator to come in and basically write a contract between labor and management if an agreement cannot be reached after 120 days is a horrible policy. This will put a terrific burden on business to cave into any number of demands. Binding arbitration is yet another example of an over burdensome federal government that wants to get involved in micromanaging the free enterprise system. It would hurt our competitiveness in Virginia.”

“...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.
