Help Us Fight Forced Unionism!
We at the National Right to Work Committee are fighting at many levels to protect America's working men and women's right to decide for themselves whether or not a union deserves their financial support.
Whether it be in the state and federal legislatures, the courts, or hearing rooms at the FEC or the NLRB, we fight to ensure that workers join unions because they want to -- not out of fear or federal mandate.
Please become an active member by pledging a monthly gift, or by helping us financially on one of the specific legislative efforts highlighted above.
The Oklahoman newspaper takes aim at the Card Check Forced Unionism Bill:
Beyond the un-American notion of replacing the secret ballot with a system that fosters coercion — from garden-variety peer pressure to we-know-where-you-live tactics — card check will be bad for U.S. businesses, bad for a struggling economy.
Missouri State Rep. Steve Hunter (R-Joplin), a champion of workers’ rights, has introduced House Bill 1811, a bill that would allow Missouri to enjoy the benefits of a Right to Work law. And it appears his efforts are paying dividends.
For too long, Missouri has lost opportunities to bring jobs into the state because six of the states bordering Missouri have enacted Right to Work laws.
The Columbia Tribune reports:
Greg Mourad, legislative director for the National Right to Work Committee, said right-to-work states have experienced greater job growth. He said that Oklahoma, which passed a right-to-work law in 2001, went from last to first in the nation in job growth.
“A lot of companies will not even consider moving into non-right-to-work states,” Mourad said.
