Virginia’s General Assembly recently killed — for this year, anyway — legislation to repeal the state’s long-standing right-to-work law. The bill had been introduced by Big Labor partisans in the state House and Senate, who thought the new Democratic majorities would hand union officials the power to compel workers to subsidize a union or else be fired.

Meanwhile, across the Potomac in Washington, the Democrat-controlled House of Representatives voted to pass H.R. 2474, the so-called PRO Act, a bill designed to overturn right-to-work laws in all 27 states that currently have them and grant a swath of other giveaways to Big Labor.
