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.”
According to the Illinois Review, “Many attribute Romney’s poor performance to flyers Right to Work supporters passed out at the straw poll highlighting Romney’s failure to support a National Right to Work Act.”
The Review continued:
National Right to Work Committee President Mark Mix stated the following upon hearing the results:
“Mitt Romney’s lackluster performance in the Ames Straw Poll shows the importance of the Right to Work issue. With America’s economy struggling to survive, the American people want to be free from the damages of forced unionism. Americans know that a Right to Work Law would help restore the economy, and they want a president that will fight for Right to Work.”
Throughout his political career Romney has continuously refused to publicly pledge support for the National Right to Work Act. In fact, he has done everything in his power to avoid the question altogether. The most recent incident was in Concord, New Hampshire earlier this week. Once again, while discussing the Right to Work issue, Romney refused to state whether he would sign a National Right to Work Bill.
“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.
Committee President Mark Mix: “President Trump is quite properly moving to exercise his authority” under the Homeland Security Act to “suspend monopoly bargaining throughout the agency . . . .”
