Voters Oppose Giving Unions More Power

This week, the Workforce Fairness Institute (WFI) campaign released new national polling data about voter sentiments towards the PRO Act. Unsurprisingly, voters strongly oppose giving unions more power and oppose efforts to take away right to work, secret ballots and an informed choice from workers.
 In addition to national polling data, the campaign released information on voters in Arizona and Virginia where both states again strongly oppose many of the provisions of the PRO Act. Northern Virginia Chamber President & CEO Julie Coons wrote that, “This survey shows that voters share these concerns and do not support radically changing labor laws at the expense of Virginia workers and businesses.” Greater Phoenix Chamber President & CEO Todd Sanders wrote that, “This survey shows that Arizona voters are alarmed that the PRO Act boosts union influence at the expense of workers, small businesses, entrepreneurs and Main Street consumers. Bottomline, if this legislation is enacted, it would force thousands of Arizona small businesses to close their doors forever and result in an unthinkable number of workers losing their job.”
