Forced Unionism Hurts Young Workers The Most
In these tough economic times, it's no wonder many states are debating bans on forced union dues or fees. A new study demonstrates once again the economic benefits of Right to Work protections.
The National Institute for Labor Relations Research (NILRR), analyzing data collected by the U.S. Census Bureau, released a new study last month showing that states with Right to Work laws and low union-monopoly density have better climates for job growth.
These states serve as a "safety valve" for young Americans, aged 25 to 34, who are often unable to find jobs in states with high rates of union monopoly bargaining like California, Michigan, New Jersey, and New York.
Moreover, any expansion of union bosses' monopoly bargaining powers, such as Card Check Forced Unionism, would disproportionately hurt these young workers who are so critical to the country's economic growth and vitality.
This is just the latest in a growing body of evidence on the economic advantages of Right to Work laws, not to mention the strong moral case that workers should never be compelled to support a union against their will.
