West Virginia’s Republican-dominated legislature mustered enough votes to override the Democratic governor’s veto of a right to work bill. Twenty-six states have now enacted right to work legislation, which seriously weakens unions by depleting their treasuries. Union dues are voluntary in right to work states, and unions are required to represent all workers – whether dues-paying union members or not – at a business.
Advocates of right to work insist this is a fair arrangement for unions. When it comes to their own organizations, however, these shills quickly change their tune. The Owensboro, Kentucky Building and Construction Trade Council of the AFL-CIO contacted the local chamber of commerce and asked about the “possibility of remaining a member of the Greater Owensboro Chamber of Commerce without paying our membership dues.” Could the council “remain a member” and “take full benefit of the Chamber benefits” without paying any membership dues whatsoever?
