Right-to-Work Law Curbing Unions Sought by Romney, Republicans

Labor leaders failed to win legislation making it easier to organize a union after Democratic allies triumphed in the 2008 elections. Next year’s voting may spawn instead a law letting workers opt out of unions.
Republicans in Congress are pursuing so-called right-to-work legislation barring agreements between unions and employers that make union membership and payment of dues a job requirement, Bloomberg Government reports. Supporters are also pushing for Indiana and New Hampshire to join 22 states that already have such laws.
