Question:
In a right-to-work state, workers are permitted to decide for themselves whether to join a union. In other states, workers may be required to join a union to obtain certain types of employment. If you live in a right-to-work state, do you agree that the choice to join a union should be made by each individual worker? If you do not live in a right-to-work state, do you agree that individuals should be required to join a union? Finally, if the choice were yours to make, would you join a union? Explain your answers. (Hint: Right-to-work states are generally in the South, Midwest, and parts of the West. If you do not know whether you live in a right-to-work state, visit the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation website at www.nrtw.org/rtws.htm.)
