How Right-to-Work Laws Lead to More Jobs: Echoes

[Turbineguy]

Earlier this week, we argued that right-to-work laws keep unemployment lower. This chart bears out that assertion: right-to-work states have for many years performed better on this measure than non-right-to-work states. That's because although less regulation makes it easier for employers to fire their workers, it also makes it easier for them to hire.

A right-to-work law suggests to business owners that a state's legislature, and the local culture, will back them up in labor disputes. It also makes employers more willing to hire workers if they know they can adjust quickly to changed economic circumstances, without worrying about overbearing regulation or heavy-handed union intrusions when they need to cut back. In the end, that will make businesses more flexible, productive and profitable. And nothing encourages hiring like profitability.

5. That's the beauty of RW statistics.

you leave out the stuff that shows you have no point and that you're a moron. As one of the commenter's said: "Abolishing the minimum wage would also help."

2. I've been a member of 6 different unions

Never found one who's members supported Right to Work. Right to work means cheap wages and union free workplace.
