There is a weak effort by Union members to repeal the Right-To-Work law. This is the text of their message. It sounds like the person who authored this isn't very bright.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Please demand legislation to repeal the infamous section 14(b) of the Taft-Hartley Act and to rid this country once and for all of the so-called Right To Work statutes.
Many states are passing this legislation because they want the ability to obtain a job to be without bias and discrimination based on whether or not you are a part of the union. Now that some of these laws have passed can we now say the opposite is true and RTW laws discriminate against folks who are union? Every worker benefits from the union contract, but under so-called RTW laws, some pay absolutely nothing to the union that negotiates that contract. That encourages others to choose to pay nothing, and eventually the union unravels.
Repeal 14(b)!

Problems:
1. Please demand legislation to repeal the infamous section 14(b) of the Taft-Hartley Act...
Please demand? Makes a lot of sense
2. and to rid this country once and for all of the so-called Right To Work statutes.
So-called? People don't want to be forced to join unions in order to work, and unions wish to control these individuals and FORCE them to join... kind of like a street gang.
3. Now that some of these laws have passed can we now say the opposite is true and RTW laws discriminate against folks who are union?
No, you can't. Just because you allow a person to work without him having to pay union dues discriminates against nobody.
4. Every worker benefits from the union contract,
Benefits? I don't think so. What is the benefit of forking over $40 a week that you might need to feed your family, or pay the rent?
5. but under so-called RTW laws, some pay absolutely nothing to the union that negotiates that contract. That encourages others to choose to pay nothing, and eventually the union unravels.
I don't believe the rules that apply to the unions apply to those who don't join.
Unions are still relevant in today's society, but they have gotten way too greedy, and need to be downsized. They have protected workers from unfair practices by greedy businesses in the past, but the pendulum has swung all the way over to the other side, and they are just taking advantage of people, including their own.
Leave the law alone, and leave alone the people that WANT to work!
