Shikha Dalmia on Indiana Becoming a Right-to-Work State
Last week, Indiana became the first state in a decade (and the first state in the Rust Belt) to adopt a right-to-work law. This means that Indiana's working men and women, like their comrades in 22 other states, will no longer have to pay mandatory dues to union bosses as a condition of employment. Big Labor was apoplectic, but as Shikha Dalmia observes, regardless of how the unions feel, Indiana's law may very well go down in history as the watershed moment that decisively stemmed the awesome power Big Labor has exerted on American politics for about a century.
