The next time you hear union bosses and their political allies declaring that right-to-work or similar reforms would devastate workers, it’s worth remembering what union workers themselves have to say on the matter. And according to a new study released as part of National Employee Freedom Week this year, the vast majority of actual union workers support reforms that would give them more control over how, or whether, they are represented.
The study surveyed more than 1,700 union workers nationwide, and revealed that union members in right-to-work states had virtually identical levels of satisfaction with their union as did workers in states with forced union dues (union states).
