West Virginia Becomes a 'Right to Work' State

Hopefully this is a wake-up call and serves as a concrete example of who truly has Weat Virginian workers' backs.

I honestly don't understand the problem. Why shouldn't you have the choice whether you join a union or not?

RTW has nothing to do with that.

Exactly. You already don't have to join a union. The union, however, negotiates for everyone, even non-union members so you still have to pay a fee. "Right to work" allows for rampant freeloading and eventually weakening the union so much that the unionized workers can be easily replaced.

Good.

Deserved punishment for those backstabbing coal workers.

You vote Republican, you reap what you sow.

This is so ironic considering the reason they voted in Republicans in the first place.

Yes, it is great to see all the Democratic avatars on here again show that they don't understand why they vote Republican. Even better when most of the posters praising unions don't belong to one themselves, but know what's best for these people.

Sorry but I do belong to a union.
