So-called “right-to-work” laws are government regulations that prohibit employers and unions from voluntarily ensuring that each member who accrues a return from collective bargaining also contributes a fair share.

This reduces the resources that unions have available to advocate for workers and organize new members, weakening worker bargaining power. Read full report here.
