-—”a national “right-to-work law” What’s that? Sounds like a left-wing idea.

To the contrary! Right-to-work means one can enjoy the fruits of one's labor without compulsory union membership. In other words, one has a "right" to work free of lashes from the union slavemaster. Here's a map showing where Right to Work exists. In particular, the Solid South, America's most pro-God, pro-gun, pro-liberty region is solidly against union thuggery. Dixie is where liberty is cherished.

May 2, 2015: With membership now voluntary, Wisconsin AFSCME forced into big cutbacks

"Governor Scott Walker and the GOP-controlled state legislature freed government employees from involuntary forced union membership, enabling them to choose or not choose to pay dues. The results have shown that roughly two-thirds have not chosen union membership when given the opportunity. And that has meant big cutbacks for the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees (AFSCME), one of the most left wing and biggest political contributors to Democrats among American unions.......

[SNIP]

.....Keep in mind that AFSCME [American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees] was founded in Wisconsin, the state that was the birthplace of the Progressive political movement. Thus, the rejection of forced union membership is doubly painful. And it is already painful for the union bosses:........"

....No mention is made of political donations by the unions, but in the past AFSCME has been a major source of money and manpower for the Democrats. That racket is now ending for workers in Wisconsin, and one of Scott Walker’s strongest appeals will be to extend these reforms nationwide."

Why stop at Federal Workers? For 25 years I was forced to pay union dues working for a large city fire department. State, city and county workers including teachers should not have unions. Civil Service Boards should be enough to ensure fair treatment.
