Right to Work States Boost Manufacturing Jobs and Freedom of Choice
The National Right to Work Committee argues that states with right to work laws, including Virginia, show stronger manufacturing job gains and lower unemployment than compulsory union states. In 1973 right to work states added 1.635 million manufacturing jobs, versus 1.362 million in compulsory states, while four compulsory states posted job losses. Virginia gained 103,200 jobs from 1963 to 1973, and Texas led with 281,400. The group notes lower living costs in right to work states and emphasizes individual choice in union membership.
