Union Special Privileges vs. Affordability
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.
Sen. Mark Warner’s (D-VA) response to constituents opposed to the Card Check Forced Unionism Bill is a letter saying that the bill “should be debated and vote[d] upon by the Senate.” Of course, that means that Warner will support efforts by the union bosses to move the legislation to the floor, and that is tantamount to a vote in favor of the bill.
Virginia has a long history of support for Right to Work, yet Warner is admitting he will vote to gut these critical worker protections. The so-called “moderate, pro-business” Senator is really nothing more than a lackey for Big Labor’s forced unionism.
