Right to Work States See Higher Growth Than Forced Unionization States
Posted on June 10, 2008 at 12:01 am by WTH
A fellow named Will Franklin over at Willisms.com has done some number crunching and he has discovered that states that support a right to work policy grow at a much higher rate than states that are awash in forced unionization.
From 2004-2007, no Right To Work state grew less than 5.1%, while fifteen Forced Unionization state grew below that level.
Meanwhile, while America’s GDP growth from 2004-2007 by 8.4%, Right To Work states grew by 10% on average, while Forced Unionization states grew by only 6.2% on average. The median Right To Work growth rate was 9.2%, compared to the median Forced Unionization rate of 4.9% (the national median for all states was 7.3%).
As expected, it appears that unionism is an albatross, a mill stone around the necks of the workers limiting the success and growth of a state.
Of course, this will not sit well with the “two Americas” types on the left in this country. As Will points out, the side that they are on is the side of failure and a stifled economy. So, good luck with that concept, there.
