I would imagine being in a right to work state would have a lot to do with what a union could gain in wages and benefits. Isn't the whole point of right to work is to weaken the unions into insignificance. The right to work organization isn't made up or funded by oppressed blue collar workers is it? You couldn't tell the men that show up at my union hall every day trying to join how much better work ing nonunion construction is. A lot of them are in their 50s, been working 25 years and have no benefits or anything to show for it. They're looking just to get 10 or 15 years in on a pension and some medical benefits. I've also worked with a lot of men that commute a 1000 miles from home for the season and I couldn't imagine why if conditions were so great back home in their right to work state
