Noam Chomsky blasts the assault on labor: “‘Right to work’ means ‘right to scrounge’”
Workers do pay a price for right-to-work laws, however. Not only do such measures reduce union coverage by nearly 10 percentage points, but the Economic Policy Institute finds that right-to-work laws are associated with an average $1,500 drop in annual wages.
As workers lose clout, Chomsky said, a well-heeled elite continues to prosper.
Bemoaning a status quo in which political elites cater to the interests of the powerful while stripping rights from ordinary citizens, Chomsky told Nichols, “This is a plutocracy. It’s not a democracy.”

I was injured in an auto accident last year and lost a month of work. I had short term disability but got nothing, it was denied. Sick time... nothing. I could have fought for it I guess but money wasn't an issue and I was just honestly glad to have the time off to recuperate from the surgery and deal with the stress it caused. But I guess I should have been grateful at all the concern the company's insurance company showed me, they noted my cholesterol readings, weight and kept tabs on my ability to return to work.
