What is the history of Right to Work laws? Where did they come from? Who proposed them and why? Has their purpose or effect changed since original inception?

One of the most hotly debated subjects in labor relations today is that of  Right to Work laws. It’s time to do some deeper research and take a position on this controversial issue.

In a narrative, do the following:

1. What is the history of Right to Work laws? Where did they come from? Who proposed them and why? Has their purpose or effect changed since original inception?

2. Accurately summarize both sides of the Right to Work debate. What exactly is each side arguing, and what are the defenses to the claims of their opponents?

3. Articulate your own opinion on this issue. Are Right to Work  laws ethically sound? Are they good for unions? Good for employers? Good for employees? If one or more of these stakeholders are disadvantaged, how? Do the benefits of these laws outweigh the costs? Why or why not?

4. What is your prediction for Right to Work laws in America? Currently, the country is divided more or less 50:50 in terms of states with and without such laws. Will they become the new norm? Or will they regress and be repealed in the states that have enacted them? Defend your predictions with sound reasoning.
