“Right to work” sounds like a good idea. But in reality, these laws have nothing to do with providing rights or work. Right-to-work laws make it optional for workers protected by a union contract to help pay for the expenses that the union incurs while guaranteeing the rights of all employees. Why is that a big deal? By limiting unions’ resources and weakening the ability of workers to have a say about their jobs, these laws drive down everyone’s wages, benefits, and overall living standards.

Ignoring the facts, corporate-backed politicians are embracing these deceptive policies. They want to make every state a right-to-work state to increase profits for CEOs and hurt efforts to restore balance to our economy. With millions of Americans still unemployed, right to work is an ill-timed distraction from the issues that matter to the middle class—and the wrong choice for our states.

2. Most of us saw the novel 1984 as a cautionary tale

Republicans use it as a handbook.

5. Yep. They've perfected gov-speak -- spinning issues, and organization names, so they're

unrecognizable if compared to actual description or purpose

3. We need a law to protect the integrity of our laws

Like doing away with sneaky manipulative titles on legislation such as the deceptive "right to work".

4. "Right to Work" laws only provide benefits to the .1%'ers.

Add tax cuts for the .1%'ers to the mix and makes it even worse. No incentive whatsoever for the so-call job creators to actually do that.
