As Indiana begins debating right-to-work, I've got to ask, what's the point? South Carolina is a right-to-work state, and how's their unemployment rate? How well are all those textile mills they brought in from the north doing right now? Face it, the South was the first third-world country that employers moved to to get lower wages. Now they've moved on. We're going to have to get wages pretty damn low (or bribe companies with tons of tax credits, most likely) to bring lots of jobs back to the North, and it's pretty unlikely that many new employers would be under the threat of unionization anyway. I don't understand why politicians would go to the effort of pissing off what union workers there are by pushing this.
