Subject: RE: BS: Right to Workgate
No, Barry... Davis-Bacon is about having companies that hire minorities...

"Right-to-work" come from a not-so-little provision in the Taft-Hartley Act known as 14(b) which allows states to to make closed shops (100% unionized) illegeal... In essence, it's anti-labor since anyone can go to work for a company and not have to participate with the union or pay dues...
