How Right-to-Work Impacts Union Dues and Union Officer Salaries

Monopolies charge their customers higher prices and care less about controlling costs. New research from The Heritage Foundation shows labor unions act just like business monopolies in this regard. Union financial filings reveal unions in non-right-to-work states charge workers 10 percent more. They also pay their top full-time officers $20,000 more a year. Unions charge monopoly prices and pay monopoly salaries when they can force workers to pay their dues.
