Approximately 50% of our clients indicate during the preliminary stages of the site selection process that they do not want to consider locations
unless they are Right to Work States. We have every reason to believe that this is typical of corporate site selectors in general.
(Fantus Consulting)
“I believe the fact that we did not have a Right to Work law had an effect on the Hyundai negotiation. We are at a time where we cannot afford to be at any competitive disadvantage.” (Kentucky Senate president David Williams commenting on Hyundai’s 2002 decision to locate in Alabama) “In other words, for many companies, if you’re not a Right to Work state, you don’t play the game.” (Bob Goforth, national site consultant) “. . .many company locators will not even look at states that do not have right-to-work." (University of Oklahoma President David Boren, former Oklahoma governor and U.S. senator) Businesses “simply look the other way.” (Former Oklahoma governor Frank Keating) Insight Research (Dallas) reports that 90% of their clients list RTW as a “kickout” criterion. (Elizabeth Morris, CEO and chief economist, Insight Research Corporation) I want to urge devotion to the fundamental of human liberty—to the principles of voluntarism. No lasting gain has ever come from compulsion. . . the workers of America adhere to voluntary institutions in preference to compulsory systems which are held to be not only impractical, but a menace to their rights, their welfare and their liberty. (Samuel Gompers, founder of the American labor movement) “To compel a man to furnish contributions of money for the propagation of opinions which he disbelieves is sinful and tyrannical.” (Thomas Jefferson) |
