100 percent bullwash. Unions represent the only opportunity for most Americans to negotiate wages, hours and working conditions. You are force dto join a union the way the country is forced to have a president. It's called democracy. Right to Work is nothing more than a means to allow union busting by denying the workforce the democratic right to establish a union shop through open balloting..

The Unions did not force the Big 3 to make cars nobody wanted. The geniuses in the corporate suite handled that blunder all on their own.

Have a nice weekend. And make sure you thank the American labor movement the people who invented paid holidays, paid vacations, paid health insurance, weekends off and, most importantly right now, Labor Day.
