F. Vincent Vernuccio, Director of Labor Policy, testifies at a Wisconsin Senate hearing days before
the right-to-work vote.
On March 9, Gov. Scott Walker signed right-to-work into law making Wisconsin the 25th state in the nation to give workers the freedom to choose.
Wisconsin joins Michigan (24th right-to-work state) and Indiana (23rd) in putting workers and job creators ahead of special interests. In February the Missouri House passed right-to-work in the Show-Me state as did the New Mexico House and in Kentucky several counties passed local right-to-work ordinances.
According to a January National Right to Work Committee newsletter, West Virginia, New Hampshire, Montana, Delaware and Maine “are some of the states where legislative debates and roll-call votes on Right to Work measures are likely or very possible this year.”
