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.”
When 18-year-old college freshman Saira Blair is sworn in as a West Virginia House Delegate, she will become America’s youngest elected lawmaker. And, what is Delegate-elect Blair’s most important issue:
I want to get jobs to West Virginia and one of the biggest ways to do that would be making West Virginia a Right to Work state.
Blair is tapped into the youth culture and she knows that unemployed high school and college grads want jobs and their own piece of the American Dream that was once embraced by most Americans. College students for the most part are not taking out college loans so that one day they can find a job where they will be compelled to pay some unknown union boss just get and keep a job.
America’s youth embrace freedom and opportunity that Right to Work protects. West Virginia’s Saira Blair is certainly a politician to keep your eyes on.
“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.
A handful of short-sighted Republicans are hurting themselves and their own party by failing to cosponsor the National Right to Work Act, breaking pledges they made to their constituents and helping Big Labor keep the legislation from coming to the floor.
