why do people have issues with the right to work law?

That has nothing to do with right-to-work. You're thinking of "employment at will".

Right To Work laws simply means that a worker has the right to NOT join a union and to not pay union dues if he wishes. In states without RTW, a worker who doesn't want to join a union is still required to pay union dues.

This law makes joining a union optional for an employee. Here is a real world example of how this law benefits a part time worker. At the local Kroger grocery store, all employees regardless if they are full time or part time have to contribute $50 a week for union dues.

If a part time worker works 4 8-hour shits (32 hours) at $8 an hour or $256, the union dues eat 19.3% ($50) of the paycheck and taxes take another 28% ($71.68) as well. So out of $256 paycheck, the employee is left with $134.32. 48% of their check is eaten by taxes and union fees. Wouldn't that student or part time middle class worker benefit if they had an extra $200 a month for a part time job vs. belonging to the union.

The reason I know this is that my daughter interviewed for a part time job at Kroger and this is what they told her. Ohio is not a right to work state, so she went to work for a company that does not require her to join a union at the same $8 an hour that Kroger was offering part time student workers.

Unions are a free-market solution to corporate greed, rather than having government imposed regulations and laws to enforce working standards. By removing the Unions ability to collect dues, the Michigan government has effectively removed the Michigan workers right to collectively bargain for better work conditions or wages. As such it is a throw away to corporations who will now be able to further lower wages for their employees, and dissolve both the economic and political effects of unions.

This is a huge blow to workers rights, and a fundamentally uncapitalistic thing to do, as it asserts the government will prevent unions from being able to fund themselves, and ultimately run them into the ground.

We had a world before unions. In that world the company paid you less wages than the cost of living, and then lent their employees the rest of their money to live, ultimately leading to a form of indentured servitude where every employee is up to their eyes with debt at the company store. Children were forced to work, and people routinely died in work place accidents. Why people pine for those days is beyond me.

So you're admitting that "right to work" really gives more rights to the management than the workers?

Edit:

Except it applies to every company in the state, so what's your point?

You go work for $5 an hour. What makes You people think you will skate?

Because we're familiar with US history.

There's a reason such laws were put in place.
