The Union ‘Free-Rider Problem’ Myth in Right-to-Work Debate

The union is the one truly taking advantage of the collective bargaining arrangement

Nearly half the states — including, most recently, Michigan and Indiana — have right-to-work laws. Supporters say they make states more attractive to employers. But the greater weight of evidence suggests that such laws help depress wages, encourage employers not to offer health and retirement benefits, deny rather than promote workers’ rights, and aggravate income inequality.

Allowing workers to become free riders who need not pay for the wages, benefits, and workplace standards that union representation brings them will discourage union membership. That will tilt the labor-management dynamic in favor of employers, and threaten to roll back the gains achieved for workers through collective bargaining. Whose right to work?

The BEST anti-poverty program= UNIONS....

Whose right to work?-the toledo blade, man this is some good reading, and you know with over12% of working Ohioans still being represented by a union, higher than the national average, the race to welfare laws might not be the answer to the 1%'s lobbying money in the hardworking Buckeye state....:-)

Ohioans voted decisively in 2011 to repeal a state law enacted that year that would have gutted the collective-bargaining rights of public employees. Last week, Republican lawmakers who evidently disdain that history proposed legislation that would make Ohio a “right to work” state.

Their toxic package deserves a prompt and permanent burial, next to the earlier union-busting measure, Senate Bill 5. Then state officials, unions, and business lobbies can consider labor-law reforms that offer a meaningful prospect of improving Ohio’s economy and creating jobs.

Speaking of legitimacy , wrongriki is a welfare addicted non working putz that thinks its an expert on workers rights ! Would'nt you think that to be an expert on work you'd have to at least have a job ?? Still using lies and half-truths in the typical republican way ! Seems funny that if this was a good thing for labor they would be supporting it but they aren't are they ??We are ohio. co m

Wrongriki being the fool that it is cant seem to understand English ! Most unions are in this fight and the host state or country of these unions will be donating money towards defeating these unfair actions by the republicans ! Unlike the republican super PAC's where no one knows where the money comes from , the unions are funded by people just like you and I !

Republican super PAC's are spending millions of super PAC money to keep the their reign of terror on labor active They are afraid that their war on workers is coming to an end and the people will regain their right to be union and more will see the truth and organize ! And the majority of their money is from out of state ! * * *

Lets end this republican war on working people “Right-to-work” laws are outdated and a throw-back to the anti-union agenda of another era. “Right-to-work” state laws are redundant and unneeded when the current federal law is actually examined. “Right-to-work” laws represent destructive economic development policy guided by extreme partisan politics. The goal should be to raise the standard of living for hard-working Hoosier families, not lower it. Hard-working buckeye families deserve better than an antiquated law designed to raise corporate profits and lower worker wages and benefits. "we are ohio" . c om

Typical republican !

Why does a right-wing republican repeater feel the need to abase unions and their members when unions have done so very much for all labor ? Wouldn't be so bad except for your total ignorance of unions and their affairs !
