The uaw is founded there, but republican lawmakers are now threatening to cripple it there. This is pure and simple union busting. These right to work laws have already had serious impacts across the country. Wages for all workers, unionized and otherwise have decreased an average of 1,500 a year and workers are less likely to get Health Insurance or pensions.
