There has been a lot of talk about “Right to Work” here lately because the new state legislature is now controlled by conservative Republicans (aka: Big Corporate Money).

Right to Work? What exactly does it mean? I’ve read that, if passed, employees will have the right to not join a union! Wow….no union dues!Employees would have the right to work without union protection! How wonderful! Employees would have no collective bargaining rights, no rights to safe working conditions, no defined work day, no benefits and would not be able to refuse overtime work for fear of being fired. Gosh….who wouldn’t want to save on union dues to get all of these new rights!

Next time someone talks about the Right to Work remember the rest of the sentence! It’s really the Right to Work without Rights! The Rights are controlled by Big Corporate Money (aka: Conservative Republicans).
