Published: 02 February, 2012, 20:36
Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels took his state backwards on Wednesday – signing legislation to make Indiana the 23rd “right-to-work” state in the nation. It’s the first state in ten years to go right-to-work and also the first state in the nation’s manufacturing belt to adopt a right-to-work law, which starves labor unions of much-needed funding.

At least right to work employees aren't robbed by being forced to pay a union with so called "fair share" dues.
Historically, right to work laws are anti-union. Even when unions were arrogant in the USA, it is obvious that all workers enjoyed a better life. Workers have a right to gather as one and in the order of things, they have a right to collect dues from all who agree to gather as one. And all decisions should be made at the lowest level possible. Indiana paid Honda, when all is said and done, about 160 million dollars for Honda to build an assembly plant in the state. They employed about 5000 workers. Besides the better paid auto workers they replaced, about 20,000 auto parts manufacturing jobs were lost. Free trade is a race to the bottom for all workers. The right to work laws really are not about rights at all. And no one asks about the impoverished workers in other countries that make the parts.
