Why isn't Maryland a right-to-work state?

28 of the 50 states are "right to work" states.
Missouri just joined the trend. Why hasn't Maryland protected worker's rights? |

| George Orwell had it right. You corrupt the language , you corrupt everything. |

| I'm sorry, is there no right to work in Maryland? Because I'm a lifelong Marylander, and I and almost all of my friends here work. |

| Probably because right to work is the opposite of worker's rights. |

| Right-to-work protects employer's rights, but you knew that. |

That is not true. Every right to organize and collectively bargain exists and is preserved in right to work states. |

| Right to work gives employees the choice whether or not to join a union. Shouldn't everyone be free to join a union and more importantly to pay union dues only if they freely choose to? |

| Oh and if unions are so great, then why are people forced to join them? |

"Protected?" Right to work states are the last stop before jobs go overseas. |

| Because Marylanders know a scam when they see it. |

| For the most part, right to work has been in traditionally red states, with a few exceptiond. Thankfully, Maryland is a traditionally blue state, so it makes more sense that they aren't a right to work state. |

Not true. In states that are most unionized, companies often leave to foreign lands to avoid having to deal with the unions. |

| OP show us some statistics that suggest so called right to work (aka anti-union) laws improve wages and working conditions for the working class. |
