Next year the labor unions in Indiana will face an assault from the Right to Work lobby. I am posting a link so that you may learn more about the issue that will threaten our wage and safety issues in Indiana.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right-to-work_law
A quick excerpt:
"Opponents further argue that because unions are weakened by these laws, wages are lowered and worker safety and health is endangered. For these reasons, they often refer to right-to-work states as "right to work for less" states or "right-to-fire" states, and "non-right-to-work" states as "free collective bargaining" states. They also cite statistics from the United States Department of Labor showing, for example, that in 2003 the rate of workplace fatalities per 100,000 workers was highest in right-to-work states."
