Right to Work Stance Defined by Party Platforms
The 1976 GOP platform keeps right to work as a state issue, citing Section 14(b) of the Taft Hartley Act and leaving enforcement to states. Democrats under Carter favor repeal of 14(b), with Carter saying he would sign such a repeal if Congress passes it, per editorials and public polling.

Ford must redefine campaign and unite Republicans for November
An analysis of Ford’s convention performance argues he has not yet defined a forward vision. He should build a broad coalition, move beyond Watergate divisiveness, and select a running mate who broadens appeal to independents and Catholics while reframing the party’s tone before the convention ends.

Ford convention managers win key test vote on rule 16c naming the running mate, overriding Kissinger concerns. Sears misreads delegates as New Jersey, Georgia and Mississippi swing against Reagan, ending any major ideological rally at Kemper Arena. Ford’s concession avoids a broader push for denouncing Helsinki and Solzhenitsyn, while leaving open questions about Reagan’s momentum.
