B. That right to work moniker is 'spin' bullsh*t just like 'job creators'.
It's a union busting initiative, and the Unions are the best mechanism we have to
insure that the 'value added' is divided fairly instead of hogged by management.
When Unions were strong, we didn't have this '5% of the population owns 95%
of the wealth' nonsense did we?

Wages will plummet; benefits will pretty much go away entirely.
That's why they passed that law. To make it so all workers work for starvation wages, and all the profit goes to the few, extremely rich people.

B, and say hello to the illegal Mexicans! They'll be taking the jobs that 'they won't do'. So even better (for employers and illegals)! I live in a 'right to work' state, and you practically can't get a job if you don't have a Hispanic last name (or a vagina--and it really helps to have both).

B OF COURSE! Jobs will go down too because those people who assemble things for $60 an hour won'r be able to purchase things.

8 out of the 10 US states with the lowest average wages and greatest number of poor are right to work states.
That should answer your question.
