Post Falls, Idaho, Rally Calls for Repeal of State's 'Right to Work' Law By Tom Sowa, The Spokesman-Review
Labor supporters have opposed the law, which allows Idaho workers to refuse to join a union or pay dues even if they work in a union shop.
Unions say the law allows companies to lower wages and avoid providing adequate health insurance for workers.
Idaho voters will not be fooled a second time, said former U.S. Rep. Larry LaRocco at the rally. The economy is stuck in neutral and voters are angry, knowing that Idaho isn't helping the cause by keeping wages low, he said.------------------------------------------- posted 7:07 AM :: reference link ::
