Wisconsin Does Not Want to Become a Right-to-Work State
We, the undersigned, do not want to have Wisconsin become a right to work state. We have a proud history of labor in our state, and we want to keep it that way. Strong unions make for higher pay and benefits compared to states with right to work laws on their books.
Why is this important?
Keep Wisconsin a strong union-friendly state. Right-to-work laws weaken the unions, and it has been known for decades that right-to-work states have lower wages and lesser-quality benefits and a lower standard of living than states with a strong union legacy, such as Wisconsin. You only need to look at the poverty rampant in states like Mississippi, Alabama, and Louisiana, states with strong right-to-work laws, to see how bad right-to-work is for the citizens and the state economies.
States like Wisconsin with strong pro-labor histories have higher wages,better benefits, and a higher standard of living for their citizens than their right-to-work counterparts. This is not union propaganda, but established fact. We do not want to follow in the steps of Michigan and have right-to-work rammed down our throats in the dead of night.
