RIGHT TO WORK = WORK WITHOUT YOUR RIGHTS!!!
RIGHT TO WORK ACT is a slogan that was made to sounds so good to the uneducated person. PLEASE educate yourself before you unknowingly support this movement that KILLS WORKERS AND THEIR RIGHTS.
This article is written for the average person.
Collective Bargaining Units (UNIONS) are a workplace democracy. Unions are made up of the workers of that workplace/industry. Some achievements of unions include: creating/maintaining a standard of fair wages and healthcare benefits while protecting the safety of the workforce. Also...they bargain for funds to provide pensions for retired workers. The list goes on... These benefits are there for people of any religion, race, gender within.
To make it simple - Right to Work allows for a worker of any workplace, where a union exists, to not have to pay union dues. Union dues gives the union a chance to fight for its workers on various subjects. If this bill passes, the unions would be starved of the funds it needs to fight for its workers rights.
This RTW movement was first created out of hatred whenever unions fought against descrimination in the workplace. Today, this same movement is about CORPORATE GREED in which will then open the door again for any and all forms of descrimination without any chance to fight it.
How does RTW kill workers?
Within a union, you have the right to work safe - to investigate a job that where safety is in question and find a way to do it safely. Without a union, you have to do the job or else. Here's an example that many of us in the industry can relate to:
A 55 year old worker has a job to put grease into a bearing. The bearing is located in a spot where there is a potential of bodily harm when the machine next to it is running. He warns the young fresh out of school manager of the danger. This manager has no experience and never performed this task ever in his life.
In a union, the job gets done when the job is made safe.
In a non union setting - the worker either gets written up or replaced by someone who will compromise their personal safety.
Congress themselves collectively bargains and votes on their own wages/benefits. DONT LET THEM TAKE AWAY OUR RIGHT TO CONTINUE TO DO SO AS WELL!!!
