BREAKING: Democrat Introduces Legislation to End Right-to-Work States

Big Government:

Back in June, we reported that California Congressman Brad Sherman (D) was circulating a letter to his fellow Democrats to introduce legislation to repeal “Right-to-Work” laws in 22 states. Now, with less than a month before the mid-term elections and five weeks before a lame-duck session in Congress, Sherman has introduced legislation to eliminate state Right to Work laws all across America.

Currently, there are 22 states in the U.S. that have laws where workers who are employed at companies that are unionized have a choice whether or not to join or pay the union. These states are known as Right-to-Work states.



On the other hand, in the 28 Non-Right-to-Work states (also called forced-dues states), it is legal for a union to negotiate a “union (income) security clause” that requires all workers covered by the union to pay the union does or ‘agency fees’ as a condition of employment. If the workers refuse to pay the union, under a “union (income) security clause,” the union can have them fired from their jobs.

Horrible. This is a horrific bill...but it could really help our side.

They know stuff like this is pretty much DOA since Congress won't even be back in session until after the election and afterwords, Republicans are not just going to roll over. All they have to do is stall for a month. There are plenty of good tricks that can be used to delay legislation.

People are getting fed up with the Unions and all their demands. The GOP candidates should use this.
