When RTW was being debated in Indiana last year, a Representative made in interesting point. She said that “A right to work measure is not an attack in unions. Actually, giving people the freedom to choose to join a union will make unions more accountable to their members.”
Think about it. In a forced union environment, does the union really give a damn what their members think when they are forced to join and forced to pay dues? All that the union wants are their dues and 51% of the vote to strike. Plus, those dues are being used for PACs and other activities that members may not even want or agree with.
I think that is one reason why there are union members that want RTW. They want the union to be accountable to them. In Indiana, there were stories of union members being dragged out of union meetings just for opposing a union strike or policy. RTW will change that and members will simply leave the union if it doesn’t serve them.
