How have right-to-work laws affected union members

 Less, they give every worker the right to work (for far less money than union members) and to pay for their own insurance in some cases. "Right to work" laws were designed to destroy unions, and keep workers from having a voice, any bargaining power. Thereby lowering the average wage of most workers in those states compared to states without "right to work" (for less money) laws. Unions built this country, unions gave us the 5 day week (instead of 6), unions gave us the 8 hour day (instead of 12), unions gave us heat and air conditioning in the work places and many more working conditions. Many people fought and died so that we can live the good life today. Without unions America would have been another monarchy or aristocracy long ago.
