So called right to work laws may have the opposite effect as voter suppression had in the presidential election. This could be a good thing as workers come to recognize corporate money wants the power over labor to enforce an acceptable slavery. The best slave is the slave who bows down to his or her master. Those who support right to work laws are knowing and sometimes unknowing corporate pawns. When you consider the states with right to work laws have the lowest wages you understand or puzzle over the power of corporate propaganda on the impressible American of today.
If you are interested in how the transformation of American against the American worker was created the book below is an excellent starting point.
"And yet over the course of the decade the old skepticism toward business that had been born in the Great Depression and reawakened for a new generation in the Vietnam era finally began to disappear. The economic transformations of the decade would be interpreted through the framework of the free market vision. The 1970s campaigns to revive the image of capitalism among college students bore fruit in the 1980s. Universities created new centers for the study of business themes such as entrepreneurship. Students in Free Enterprise, a group started in 1975 to bring students together to "discuss what they might do to counteract the stultifying criticism of American business," thrived on small college campuses, funded by companies like Coors, Dow Chemical, and Walmart (as well as the Business Roundtable). The group organized battles of the bands, at which prizes would be doled out to the best pro-business rock anthems, helped silkscreen T-shirts with pro-capitalist messages, and created skits based on Milton Friedman's writings, which college students would perform in local elementary schools. In the workplace, the decline of the old manufacturing cities of [he North and Midwest and the rise of the sprawling suburbs of the Sunbelt metropolises marked the rise of a new economic culture, dominated by companies such as Walmart and Home Depot and Barnes & Noble."
