When I moved to La Crosse back in 1992 it was to work at a
radio station. When I was hired they had
me sign a three month no compete, and said that even if I didn’t sign it that
Wisconsin was or wasn’t a right to work state I don’t remember but I remember
that they said that my non-compete it would hold up in court. I had no idea what Right to Work meant then,
and I still have no idea what a Right to Work State means to me now. I have never been in a union, nor do I ever
see myself being in one since I am a middle aged radio personality and don’t see
myself moving from this market anytime soon.
From what I understand the proposal in Wisconsin would make it a crime
to require private sector workers who aren’t in a union to pay dues. If it truly is that simple, I don’t get the
problem, but I am assuming that since the government is involved that it is
much more than just that. Supporters say
it’s about workers freedoms, while detractors say it will hurt businesses and
lower wages. Since I really don’t know,
how can wages be lowered or how can it hurt business by making this a right to
work state?
