Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., argues that his proposed right-to-work legislation will be ‘great’ for the whole country.<\/p>\n
Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky and Rep. Joe Wilson of South Carolina on Wednesday reintroduced the National Right to Work Act.<\/p>\n
U.S. right-to-work laws ensure that Americans can work specific jobs without having to join unions or pay union dues. More than half of the country's states have adopted right-to-work laws since the 1950s.<\/p>\n
"Today, I reintroduced the National Right to Work Act to end forced union dues for American workers all across the country," Paul said in a video statement. "More than eight in 10 Americans say workers should be free to join a union if they want to, but no one should be forced to join."<\/p>\n
He added that the "way the law is written today, millions of private-sector workers can be forced to surrender every part of every paycheck to a labor union as a condition to employment."<\/p>\n
"My bill makes sure employees of private businesses, airlines, railroads, get the same protections," Paul said, noting that 27 states have already adopted state right-to-work laws.<\/p>\n
