WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) reintroduced the National Right to Work Act to preserve and protect the free choice of individual employees to form, join, or assist labor organizations or to refrain from such activities. The bill currently has 15 cosponsors.
“The National Right to Work Act ensures all American workers have the ability to choose to refrain from joining or paying dues to a union as a condition for employment.” said Dr. Paul. “Kentucky and 26 other states have already passed right to work laws. It’s time for the federal government to follow their lead.”
Dr. Paul continues to work to reduce the massive size of government, his legislation does not add to existing federal law but instead deletes existing federal forced unionism provisions.
The National Right to Work Act repeals six statutory provisions that allow private-sector workers, and airline and railroad employees, to be fired if they don’t surrender part of their paycheck to a union. Dr. Paul’s legislation will put bargaining power back where it belongs: in the hands of the American workers.
U.S. Representative Joe Wilson (R-SC-2) reintroduced companion legislation today in the U.S. House of Representatives as H.R. 1275.
In this Congress?
Dead on Arrival.
IN fact the Demonicrats are attempting to stifle Right to Work in the states that have it.
Oh look. More useless virtue signaling from Paul. Useful only for ginning up more donations.
Regarding 14A issues, if I recall correctly, public union dues were wrongly taken out of state government paychecks versus freedom of speech.
Public Unions Lose Over 90% Of Non-Member Dues After SCOTUS Ruling (4.10.19)Otherwise, not only is Democratic politically correct federal NLRB unconstitutional imo, but Sen. Rand is inadvertently unconstitutionally expanding the already unconstitutionally big federal government’s powers by reintroducing this bill imo.
Insights welcome.
“Otherwise, not only is Democratic politically correct federal NLRB unconstitutional imo, but Sen. Rand is inadvertently unconstitutionally expanding the already unconstitutionally big federal government’s powers by reintroducing this bill imo.”
Does his legislation do that? Or is it simply repealing federal law to return it to the States?
You got a serious woody for that dude, huh?
Thanks for replying.
In my opinion, “repealing” a federal law is not the same thing as making sure that low-information voters, also Democratic lawmakers, understand that the states have never expressly constitutionally given the feds the specific power to make INTRAstate labor laws.
bttt
Dems will allow this after the national debt is settled.*

Biden DID campaign on EVERY SINGLE JOB IN THE USA BEING A UNION JOB...NO EXCEPTIONS.
Could have introduced it 4 years ago when it had a slight chance of getting to the President’s desk.

Both Montana and New Hampshire trying to pass RTW in their respective states.
Pretty much guarantees that the corporate half of the Biden-Harris fascist deal with . . . the corporate half . . . will assign the office to Harris (fanatical anarchist-gov’t half of the deal, approves).
Biden takes a golden parachute (Dr. Jill will have to be happy with that) and corporate half arranges with the gov’t anarchist half to send the bill to the taxpayers.
Rand is right, but if you want to give employees choices, in Lib World it means you hate working people.
