When Words Don't Mean What They Say: "Right to Work" Laws are Anything but That! featuring . Kevin Gundlach, Pres., South Central Labor Federation, Madison, WI . Elizabeth Tandy Shermer, Asst. Prof. of History, Loyola University, Co-author with Nelson Lichtenstein, The Right and Labor in America
Wisconsin is the latest State to fall victim to the right wing anti-union juggernaut. "Right to work" laws destroy unions-that's their real purpose. "Right to Work" laws are not driven by a groundswell of disgruntled union members chafing under union oppression, but by employers, industry associations and lobbyists."Right to work" laws drive down wages for everyone. We'll explore the history of right to work laws, who and what's driving this juggernaut in states across the nation and what is to be done to challenge this race to the bottom.
