Data Point – Right To Work

  • 26 states now have right-to-work laws
  • almost half of the nation’s population now lives in right-to-work states
  • the majority of manufacturing jobs are located in these states
  • Between 2004 and 2014, overall job growth in the U.S. was 6.1%. In states without right-to-work laws, it was a paltry 3.9%. But in right-to-work states, job growth over those years was 9.1%.
  • a study published in the Cato Journal found that productivity in non-right-to-work states was just 57% — to 64% of right-to-work states.
  • people are voting with their feet by moving into right-to-work states, which saw their populations climb at twice the rate as forced-union states from 2004 to 2014
  • family incomes climbed faster in right-to-work states over these years.

And Hillary Clinton:  “I will fight back against so-called right to work. Right to work is wrong for workers and wrong for America.” So, she hates the idea that people don’t want to join unions.  She wishes to take that choice away (and this is what Socialist do – they are greedy enough to believe they SHOULD make choices for you regardless of what you want or need).

I think that is beholden to a “special interest”, Hillary.
