WHAT ARE RIGHT-TO-WORK LAWS?

They are...

  • Takes away your weekends, free time, vacations
  • Offers low quality minimum wage jobs
  • Reduces social benefits
  • Takes away fair working conditions
  • Undermines trade unions

Right-to-work is a concept and right-to-work laws derive from them. The concept covers everything that undermines workers directly or indirectly.

First of all the name “right-to-work” is deceiving. These laws are promoted by political leaders and legislators as ‘good’ and ‘progressive’, when in fact they are NOT. They reflect the interests of anti-union groups, right-wing opinion leaders, banks and greedy corporations that ultimately want to destroy and undermine trade unions. Trade unions are progressive organizations that constantly fight to maintain social rights, equality and benefits for Canadian workers.

Testimonial

"I was employed for many years at a Teamster company that was shut down due to the economy. Because of my age, I was worried about starting over. Bobby, Bob and Paul not only negotiated a much better severance package than was in the contract, but they also went the extra mile and got me on at one of their other companies with an even better contract.They continued to help me even though it wasn't their job to."

“I look after a lot of members in a very big plant. For years I had to fight for them by myself with no help at all from any of the Union’s representatives or Officers. This changed completely once Bobby, Bob and Paul were in office. Now I have access to my reps 24 hours a day, 7 days a week!  They’re always there to back me up.”
