As regular HOTLINE readers know, right-to-work laws are highly associated with prosperity across states. The states (mostly in the south and mountain states) with Right to Work have for several decades had double the job creation rates as the forced union states.

Now, Virginia is about to become ground zero for the most aggressive Big Labor power grab in years. Virginia has been a right-to-work state for almost 80 years.

Governor-elect Abigail Spanberger campaigned on promises to “reform,” not repeal, right-to-work laws, whatever that means. Democrats in the state legislature are wasting no time pushing for full repeal.

In recent years, we’ve worked with our friend Mark Mix, president of the National Right to Work, to keep these laws in place. It is imperative that Virginia NOT become the sore thumb of the south and turn state control over to the big labor bosses.

We also have some threats to Right to Work in Congress.  Republican Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri wants to team up with Democrats to pass the PRO Act, a federal law that would ban all state right to work laws.
