We don't need so-called "right to work" bills, what we need is a right to get paid fairly for the work we already do. Repealing the 13th Amendment would also count as a "right to work" bills as it'd make it easier for employers to become slavemasters & force people to work.On twitter.com

"Right to work" supporters probably believe "Arbeit Macht Frei" is a perfectly decent motto.Permalink On twitter.com

Seriously though, why would anyone even want a "right to work" in the first place? Working sucks; people only do it because they have to. It's only useful as a means to an end; it's not an end in-and-of-itself.Permalink On twitter.com

We have the material conditions necessary to be providing a right NOT to work; why aren't we doing that instead? Let's pass #UBI so people don't have to be dependent on their employers for their basic needs.Permalink On twitter.com

Rights only give you freedom if you have the choice to either exercise them or not exercise them. Freedom of speech is only a freedom as long as there's also a freedom NOT to speak. Likewise w/religion, assembly, bearing arms, etc. Otherwise they're coercion to act a certain way.Permalink On twitter.com

Thus, "Right To Work" isn't actually a right as long as people don't have the alternative not to take it and not work. This is actually similar to one of my objections to the state motto: "Live free or don't" provides the hearer with more options than "Live free or die" does.Permalink On twitter.com
