Earlier this month, Republican Reps. Steve King (IA) and Joe Wilson (SC) re-introduced a so-called right-to-work bill that would significantly hamper unions across the country and likely lower wages for all Americans.
On the campaign trail, President Trump said he is “100 percent” in favor of right-to-work laws.
So far, 27 states have gone right-to-work. And in those states, workers are much less likely to be in a union: Those in non-right-to-work states are about two-and-a-half times more likely to be in one or protected by a union contract.
Research has found that this has a serious impact on everyone’s wages, even those not in unionized workplaces.
