This basically sums up the "agenda" for the right to work advocates and the numbers after states adopt this idealogy.
Dosen't really look like a brighter future..
That is true. Over 10 years after Oklahoma passed right to work, that state remains as a highly undesirable place to go to for a decent paying job.
All "right to work" does is prevents the mandatory payment of union dues or fees from non-union employees working at a "union" company. No one can be forced to join a union (though unions often use fear and intimidation on non-members). In some back-azzwards states, they can force non-members, not represented by the union, to pay "fees" equivalent to dues. RTW prevents this kind of thuggish action.

Yes, but it also ends up weakening labor unions, lowering wages, and reducing healthcare benefits for workers.
The U.S. is rapidly doing away with unions. Don't people realize there has to be some counter-balance to greedy corporate interests. Do people want to end up like the garment workers in Bangladesh who make $38 a month working 12 hour days 6 days a week?
