PROMOTING GOOD JOBS AND A STRONGER ECONOMY
The labor movement has historically provided U.S. workers with reliable pathways into good, middle-class jobs. Union membership, however, has gradually declined across America. A primary driver of this decline has been the spread of so-called “right-to-work” laws, which allow workers to receive all the services and benefits of collective bargaining– such as higher wages, better health care, and legal representation– without paying anything for them. By restricting the ability to collectively bargain, “right-to-work” laws weaken unions.
