Josh Hawley’s union-friendly bill may open the door to right-to-work

Is Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) actually a defender of worker freedom? On March 4, the senator, joined by Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-OH) and three Democrats, introduced a bill giving the government more power over the relationship between labor unions, workers, and job creators.

In doing so, Hawley, who opposes right-to-work laws, may be inadvertently laying the groundwork for a national version of that same policy, protecting private-sector workers across America from getting fired for not paying union fees.
