Description of the blog
On Feb. 12, Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., and Rep. Joe Wilson, R-S.C., reintroduced the ABC-supported National Right to Work Act. The bill would prevent workers from being forced to join a union or pay union dues as a condition of employment, protecting the free choice of individual employees.
The bill’s introduction comes as Sen. Paul continues to oppose the Protecting the Right to Organize Act and, more specifically, the bill’s provision prohibiting right-to-work laws across the country, including in the 27 states that currently have them in place. The PRO Act would force individuals to join a specific union and forfeit a portion of their hard-earned paychecks to support the activities and influence of unions if they want a job at a unionized factory, jobsite, school or company.
ABC is proud to support the National Right to Work Act and will continue to promote policies that incentivize competition and produce a better work environment for businesses and workers.
