Voters in AL & VA May Add the 'Right to Work' to Their State Constitutions
Join us and tell your reps how you feel!
Twenty-six states currently have what are known as “right to work” laws, which let workers choose whether or not they want to join a union. Just 10 of those states have enshrined that policy in their state constitution, but this November, voters in two more states will decide whether or not to join that list: Alabama and Virginia.
In Favor
Workers shouldn’t be required to join a union and pay dues in order to get or keep a job, especially when union dues are often spent on political advocacy that the worker may not agree with. A constitutional amendment would hopefully provide a permanent protection for workers.
Opposed
Forced unionization is the only way to ensure that all workers pay their fair share to support the union that collectively bargains on their behalf for better wages and benefits. Otherwise workers who aren’t in the union will get similar benefits without chipping in.
