I've been a union employee for round 15 years. I know what right to work really means. The pay an the median income in right to' work states is lower i believe by around 8,000 a year. Thats a fact. I've seen workers from down south up here working because they cant get a job at home. A company wont pay a living wage when they can hire mexicans or anyone off the street and pay them 8.00 a hour with no benifits then fire them at will with no just cause. With this right to' work the prevaling wage is gone at all goverment facilities also. As a union member I want a living wage not a working wage. I've seen the craftsmanship of non Union workers in my trade. I would rather pay a little more an have the job done right with quality. Unions gave us 40 hour work week, OT after 40, sick days ,holiday pay, and vacations. These companys gave us none of these they were fought for.
