Right to Prosper
So-Called "Right-to-Work"
Corporate Interest Groups Are Pushing So-Called Right-to-Work, Attacking Our Right to Prosper
Working people, unions and allies are mobilizing to stop the spread of the so-called “right-to-work” law, which lowers living standards for workers and threatens collective bargaining.
Know the facts. So-called Right-to-Work doesn’t create jobs. It turns good union jobs into bad jobs.
- Workers in so-called right-to-work states make about $5,300 less per year.
- In so-called right-to-work states, fewer are free to join a union, slashing retirement contributions and crippling pensions.
- You might call it “right-to-work to death” – the workplace death rate is 36 percent higher in so-called right-to-work states.
