Map of Misery and Right to Work in 1970s Virginia
The piece argues against repealing Section 14(b) of the Taft Hartley Act and promotes Virginia’s Right to Work law. It cites the 1974 Machinists article on the “Map of Misery,” listing unemployment in non Right to Work states, and urges voters to support Right to Work, noting 22,000 Virginia supporters. The message presents positions of Jimmy Carter Gerald Ford and other figures and calls for alignment with the National Right to Work Committee.
