Further, while it would be great to get rid of the right-to-work provisions, back here in the real world we have to fight off attempts to institute new ones in new states. Democrats are inevitably much less likely to support right-to-work than Republicans are. These are just facts.

More lovely principles from the master of www.johnlacny.com. Unionists have to defend against right-to-work legislation all over the country, so the Democratic Party, which owns the AFL-CIO, gets to remain silent about repealing Taft-Hartley.
Workers everywhere are also working and making poverty-level wages, so I guess the DP better stay away from that topic, too. Wouldn't want your political leaders to actually make noise on your most crucial life-and-death issues! Democrats are much less likely to favor starvation wages than Republicans are! What are you trying to do, piss these inspiring angels off?
