[QUOTE="TedKennedy, post: 2014772, member: 25419"] Valid points indeed. Why stop with Right to Work? Get rid of minimum wage, 40 hrs + = overtime, OSHA,NIOSH, LRB....minimum age for workers. So how much liberty do you want? Want to be on an equal playing field with some kid in Taiwan? India? Mexico? If U.S. law did what it should (act in American interests), your "liberty" statement would make more sense. We are at a point now where companies can go overseas, take advantage of cheap labor and resource costs, yet market products here as if they were produced here. So we have U.S. worker playing by one set of rules, industry playing by another. Any idea what the average wage earner makes today (in adjusted dollars) compared to the average in 1970? What drives that? Is it better or worse for Americans to be paid more, have good health insurance, pensions? Are we better off now, with almost no union membership in the private sector than we were in 1955? 65?.... [/QUOTE]
