Anti-union politicians have introduced national Right to Work legislation in both the House and Senate. If passed, the legislation would hurt Local 804 members, UPS Teamsters nationwide, and all workers.

The purpose of Right to Work is to weaken unions’ power to win higher wages and strong contracts by driving down union membership.

The fallout hurts all working people: Wages are lower for everyone in Right to Work states. Fewer workers have healthcare coverage. Workplace deaths are 50% higher.

Don’t Fall for Right to Work

Right to Work’s misleading name is meant to sound pro-worker and pro-American. The phony argument is that every worker should have the “right to work” without being “forced to be a union member.”

But no worker can be forced to be a union member. That is illegal already. Even the notorious union-busting Right to Work foundation admits it.

The difference is that under Right to Work laws, workers who are covered by union contracts can refuse to pay union dues. This guts our power to wage contract campaigns and strikes and to represent members on the job.

Under Right to Work, free-riders who pay no dues still get all of the wages, benefits and contractual rights that dues-paying members get.

The fact is that winning strong contracts takes united members and it takes money. We’re stronger together. That’s why workers form unions and pay dues.

Don’t fall for Right to Work. One Union. One Goal.
