Here's Why.
An interesting article about the history of right to work:

"From now on, white women and white men will be forced into organizations with black African apes whom they will have to call brother or lose their jobs." Vance Muse, founder of the "right to work" anti-labor campaign

(3,974 posts)2. Walker RTW comments this morning (2/26)
Walker spoke in Milwaukee this morning before jetting back to D.C.:
While acknowledging that he said earlier this year that he thought that right-to-work legislation would take away from other initiatives he is proposing in his two-year budget, Walker said he now thinks the timing is right.
Walker said lawmakers won't finish work on the budget until late May, which gives them time now to devote the legislation that would make union membership voluntary.
"Timing-wise, it's actually a pretty good time," Walker said at the Hyatt Regency in downtown Milwaukee....
"I think it will have a positive impact, along with a whole series of other things," he said.

"The "right-to-work" movement to destroy labor unions began almost as soon as FDR passed the Wagner Act in the mid-1930s, which gave labor organizers "union security" as the old euphemism went and should still go."
Thanks for the link.
