For a big government advocate who maintains that companies do not create jobs Hillary’s position on the right-to-work laws is perfectly consistent. Hillary is consistently wrong and consistently has poor judgement.

Out of context, it does sound stupid.

But to a union member, it's the holy grail.

If you don't already know, "right to work" means a state has a law that prohibits a clause in a union contract that requires all employees at a particular business to join the union. This arrangement is also known as a "closed shop".

But, 26 states (plus Guam) have "right to work" laws -- mostly in the south and west.

I have to wonder if Clinton realizes union membership has fallen to about 11.3% (in 2013) of all workers in the US. That's down from 20.1% in 1983. Yes, union members is a key Democrat constituency, but statements like this wont endear her to the other 89% -- especially ones that don't know what "right to work" actually means in this context.
