Supporters of freedom from forced unionism in Kentucky workplaces are mapping out a strategy to make Kentucky a Right to Work state within six to eight years.
In Right to Work states, an individual can't be forced to join a union in order to get or keep a job.
Union dues are often used to support left wing causes and candidates, in opposition to the interests of most Kentuckians. Indiana became the only rust belt state to go Right to Work on February 1.
This law is particularly necessary in Kentucky because of special protections granted labor unions such as prevailing wage laws which artificially inflate the cost of public construction projects.
New job growth in Indiana as a result of Right to Work should help the effort to end forced unionism in Kentucky.
