Right to Work and the “free-rider” effect/worker mobility

It has been claimed by angry union leaders in Michigan and other states that adopt “Right to Work” laws which eliminate compulsory union membership that such laws create a “free-rider effect.” A good article here explains that unions ARE NOT required to represent all employees at a given company. The problem is that unions do not exercise this option for political reasons.

Also, this interactive website illustrates the ongoing shift of workers to states that preserve worker freedom from states that do not have such protections.
