WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) reintroduced the National Right to Work Act to preserve and protect the free choice of individual employees to form, join, or assist labor organizations or to refrain from such activities. The bill currently has 15 cosponsors.
“The National Right to Work Act ensures all American workers have the ability to choose to refrain from joining or paying dues to a union as a condition for employment.” said Dr. Paul. “Kentucky and 26 other states have already passed right to work laws. It’s time for the federal government to follow their lead.”
Dr. Paul continues to work to reduce the massive size of government, his legislation does not add to existing federal law but instead deletes existing federal forced unionism provisions. more

As time goes on, Rand continues to prove he’s the real deal. A Patriot.
You’re mostly right about Rand. Every now and then I get pissed off about what he says or does, but I agree with him much more than not. If he was in my state I would be happy to vote for him.
Rand is a good guy; raised by fine people in a fine family.
His father Ron is the only politician I’ve ever known to be utterly up-front about everything. He had and still has an agenda in the proper sense of that word, and will be happy to tell you what it was and how his words and actions are meant to further it. His agenda? Liberty.

Absolutely true. I was/am a big fan of Ron. He should be proud of Rand. I particularly enjoy when Rand makes Fauci look like the asshole he is.
The right to work is really great….
The right to bear arms is critical.
The one critical provision missing from all RTW legislation I have reviewed is this: if you opt out of union membership, you should lose all union-negotiated benefits. As it is now, the union must continue to represent ALL employees, even those who don’t belong or pay dues. And those employees continue to receive the same sized piece of the pie as everyone else. Why would anyone pay for something they can get for free?
Anyone who opts out of a union does drop some union benefits. Unions are great for making companies keep screw-ups employed. No union defending you and you have to perform properly to stay employed. And I think we are still early in the at-will employment stage for a lot of places used to everyone being in the union. Eventually, business will find a way to separate the union wages/benefits from the non-union.
