Right to Work Laws While Democrats claim to support worker’s rights, we are seeing a lot of ads from time to time, extolling the benefits which unions have given us and telling people that the “right to work” movement threatens their communities. While the unions did a lot of good to bring safety to the work place, raise wages, and break the power of tyrannical companies, they have become tyrants themselves. They aren’t run as a democracy. They are run by union bosses who use the union dues to support politicians who in turn pass laws benefiting the unions. As union bosses gained control over politicians, they began supporting other things such as abortion even though the majority of their members opposed it. Because of laws in many States, workers have no voice in how their dues are spent. While some States allow members to opt out of dues which support political candidates, most States don’t allow that. As the union bosses have gained power, they have used union funds to gain control over local, State, and national politicians. Politicians, backed by union funds, have expanded laws supporting causes, like abortion, that the union bosses want, in spite of the fact that many of their members are opposed to it. Union bosses, working with abortion providers and Gay rights groups have united behind the Democratic party to push their agenda, in spite of the fact that their members predominantly oppose those issues. Democratic politicians can often outspend their Republican rivals as much as 4-10 times. As industry declines, unions are declining and so they are trying to expand their power over their members and the industries they control. In fact, unions have been preying upon those in other occupations, who are unhappy with making so much less than union workers, in order to to expand their power into new industries. Many cities, and some States, like Michigan, are more controlled by union bosses than by the votes of their people. “Right to Work” laws abolish mandatory union membership and dues allowing workers to work without belonging to the union or paying dues to support causes they don’t believe in. The only thing they threaten is the union’s control over workers.
