The latest on Obama's and NLRB's death-star laser focus on jobs

Last January President Obama declared that he would focus like a laser on jobs. As I quipped a few months later, it appears he's using a death star laser. Nothing has changed.

From Townhall:

What the NLRB and their union boss friends cannot escape is the overwhelming proof that states with right-to-work laws are more financially and educationally accomplished than states where unionization is forced.

It's no wonder South Dakota and Arizona, two right-to-work states, let the voters speak for themselves guaranteeing a secret ballot election in union organizing elections. By ensuring a secret ballot in this manner, workers are better able to vote their conscience and not be unfairly swayed, or even bullied, by union organizers who desperately seek new members to increase dues. By putting this notion into state law, they sent a message to Big Labor – we do not want forced unionization.

At its core, that's what right to work is about. Right to work protects a worker's freedom of association. It prohibits agreements between labor unions and employers making membership or payment of union dues or fees a condition of employment.
