The Right To Work for less argument has been going on all across the country for many, many years. The proponents say it will create jobs and give workers a choice. These are great message points for them because they mean nothing and there is no basis in reality.
The fact is that, unions fought, worked, and died for the rights and privileges that many workers take for granted now. The fact that we have weekends or vacations are just two of thedozens of examples (image here) of how unions fought for better working conditions for all.
Now unions are fighting back against anti-worker legislation and policies that are destroying the American (and Canadian) labor markets. They are shipping good paying manufacturing jobs overseas and then blaming the workers for not having jobs. They are creating policies that have one thing in mind, smash the unions!
This is the case with right to work laws. This idea of a right to work is inappropriately named. It should be called the right to freeload.
