[QUOTE="Atomic_Smurf, post: 1544589, member: 46684"] Same pathetic miscomputation of information over & over again. It took half a dozen attempts to get you to acknowledge the numbers from the BLS were accurate. Looks like it will take as many to make you understand what they mean. A half a percent growth in union membership in RTW states can't be attributed to employers moving to other states to avoid unions, hence the statistic is measuring "Union Represented Workers". The loss of union jobs in non-RTW states isn't BECAUSE of other states adopting the law but because they DIDN'T. Much of that is due to the fact that RTW states have been able to retain jobs more effectively than non-RTW states who have seen many of their union employers simply shut down or move overseas. The new jobs we've seen come to our state since RTW aren't companies relocating to leave a bunch of union workers standing around a burning barrel but rather NEW companies that have chosen our state over others as a place to create & grow their companies (which means more jobs). Blaming job losses in non-RTW states on RTW is like blaming someone that can swim because you can't. [/QUOTE]
