    I have 30 years of experience in labor relations. I worked union for 10 years, non-union and also as a manager. I have negotiated on both sides. I can give you 50 real reasons why unions kill job growth and another 50 reasons why they are no longer needed.

    Here is the number one reason we need Right to Work: The union craves power over the workforce. They place themselves between Labor and Management. Good cooperative relations hurt union power. That is why they undermine the organizations they organize. This kills your ability to compete against foreign competition.

    It is very hard to run a manufacturing business with good relations and close to impossible with a union planting the seeds of suspicion and oppositional conflict. Its simply not in the unions interest for factories to be smart, efficient and competitive. Good relations degrade their power over the people.

    This is why companies are paying more and more to be in Right to Work states – they need the cooperation and brain power of every person in the company and they are willing to pay for it.

    That is also why unions are one of the big reasons American manufacturing has suffered over the past 20 years. We have enough problems with stupid managers - we don’t need to fight our own organizations. You will never win on the world stage like that.
