. What is a right-to-work state? What are the advantages or disadvantages of doing business in a right-to-work state?
Solution
A Right to Work law secures the right of employees to decide for themselves whether or not to join or financially support a union. However, employees who work in the railway or airline industries are not protected by a Right to Work law, and employees who work on a federal enclave may not be. Moreover, a Right to Work law does not prohibit limitations on when a dues deduction authorization card can be revoked.
The Advantages of the Right to Work
Right-to-work laws prevent union organizations from monopolizing work opportunities. An outgrowth of the Taft-Hartley Act of 1947, right-to-work laws prohibit employers from creating exclusive relationships with labor unions. Right-to-work laws guarantee that nonunion employers and nonunion workers can bid on jobs that would otherwise be restricted for union labor
The Disadvantages of Right to Work States
Right-to-work states prohibit unions and employers from forcing employees to join a union or pay union dues as a condition of employment. These states also prevent denial of employment to non-union members or requiring a fee for the right to work. Nearly half of all states are \"right-to-work\" states. Advocates of right-to-work laws claim stronger economic growth indicators, such as lower unemployment rates, interstate migration and higher gross domestic product (GDP) growth. However, right-to-work can potentially weaken collective bargaining, inhibit worker wage growth and allow for employee termination without just cause
