In his letter of May 19 in the Laconia Daily Sun Martin Carney incorrectly claims that workers in Right-to-Work (RTW) states are worse off than those in forced unionization states. Actually they are better off.
First. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, average unemployment in the forced unionization states is 8.31%, in the 22 RTW states it is 7.95%. In addition, 13 of the 22 RTW states are significantly below the national average unemployment rate while only 13 of the 28 forced unionization states are below the national average. So, workers are more likely to find a job in a RTW state.

Most Americans oppose forced unionization.
Forcing workers to pay tribute to earn a living is slavery, it is immoral and un-American.
Voluntary unionization makes unions compete, putting workers’ interests first.
