There
is an ideological component to Right to Work Laws with many folks
believing RTW increases political democracy for the individual; allows
unworthy and lazy workers to be fired; allows companies to fire and
discipline workers with drug problems and bring more jobs to a state.
Much of this thinking is simply wrong but it is out there amongst the
people.
The first block of RTW states were the former core
slave states or the states that left the Union and formed the
Confederate States of America to defend their democratic right to have
black chattel slaves. These are also the states with the most fascistic
laws and violent forms of capitalist rules against the entire
population, black and white. In states like Alabama for instance denying
blacks the vote for one hundred years actually disfranchised more
whites than blacks. In order to hold say four million people in bondage
and the ditch of poverty and destitution, four million volunteers and
paid
stool pigeons are required to literally stand on their heads and back,
which keep the people standing on the disposed in the same shit hole.
The point is Right to Work and all laws outside the commons and what we
call common sense understanding of property and rights have a history,
environment and purpose. Right to work laws do not attract business and
create community wealth. By community wealth is meant public schools
road work, water services, garbage pickup and generally work most
rational people believe belongs in the public sphere.
My
definition of rational peoples means lower section of the proletariat.
By proletariat is meant that part of society that must sell its labor
for wages and have no stocks, bonds and other forms of income.
Right to Work states are generally the poorest with the worst education
and public services. The fact of the matter of American history that no
ideologue can make go away is that during the Henry Ford phase of
industrialization raising wages grew the economy, despite the
reactionaries screaming bloody murder against the five dollar day.
Raising wages in America and the world today would grow the economy. We
face people who believe ancient and backwards monetary theory created
by the capitalists and their hired spokespersons that in the main have
no proof of reality. The idea that lowering wages can grow the economy
is insanity. One thing alone grows any economy, increased consumption.
When we leave the world of capitalist short speak and capitalist
concepts, increased distribution grow the productive forces.
The bottom line to Right to Work is that these laws are a part of a
program of attack by the representative of capital (the bourgeoisie) –
corporate interest – to recreate the world in their insane image of
private property as dominant over life. RTW destroys the security of
the close shop and union shop and will not bring new jobs to Michigan.
