Your paycheck should belong to you. Louisiana has taken a major step to protect the rights of public employees by ending practices that made it harder for workers to stop financially supporting a union. Worker freedom. Worker choice. A big win for Louisiana. Read more: pelicanpolicy.org/press-rele… #lalege #lagov

Thank you @IAGovernor for signing SF 472 into law. We are proud to celebrate another major victory for worker freedom. The law closes a loophole that allowed unions to dodge reporting requirements and stifled workers' voices. Public employees in Iowa now have a more transparent and accountable process that empowers their voice in the workplace. @1davidguenthner @AFPIowa

The downward inflection point for Michigan came as soon as the repeal of RTW, return of prevailing wage, and other union giveaways were enacted in mid-February 2024.
Michigan job gains were down from 219,328 in Q2-2025 to 187,766 in Q3. Job losses were up from 210,470 to 223,430. Terrible quarter. bls.gov/news.release/pdf/cew…

Why do Alaska, Missouri, Montana, and Ohio still allow teacher strikes? The NEA and AFT are not Republicans' friends, to put it mildly.
“Most states don’t allow strikes by public school employees. There is no effective limit on what public school unions can demand if they have the right to strike.” @washingtonpost editorial board 🚨4 red states still allow teachers to strike. washingtonpost.com/opinions/…

Given the cases we've had for workers targeted by UNITE HERE union bosses, this is unfortunately not surprising.

Teachers shouldn’t be forced to bankroll political agendas.    Union dues are optional—nationwide.

Reading from @taxreformer: "Right-to-Work States Dominate U-Haul Growth Index" 9 of top 10 growth states are RTW. ALL of bottom 10 are forced unionism. Top 24 growth cities are in RTW states. This is not a coincidence. atr.org/right-to-work-states…

The Southeast is leading a pro-worker, pro-freedom shift - and TN is out front. Protect paychecks, guarantee choice, boost transparency, and keep politics out of the workplace. That's why TN put Right-to-Work in our Constitution. Proud to see TN set the standard. @WorkersForOpp washingtonexaminer.com/opini…

“States such as Tennessee, Florida, Georgia, and Alabama embracing the belief that the future of pro-worker, pro-freedom policies is not in expanding bureaucracy, but in empowering individuals with real choice, transparency, and accountability over their own lives and paychecks.” 🎯 @WorkersForOpp washingtonexaminer.com/opini…
