Comment on the IBEW action alert concerning “right-to-work” legislation. Right-to-work laws make it so that employees do not have to pay unions dues to support collective bargaining with which they disagree. Unions view the collective bargaining mandate in the other states as a necessary component to their ability to gain higher wages. Should employees be required to pay union dues for collective bargaining?
