Mark Mix Sets the Record Straight on the PRO-Act and More on “All Talk” with Tom Jordan and Kevin Dietz

Clip from show.... This is all talk with tom Jordan and Kevin Dietz on 760 WJR. These arguments are decades old, the whole collective bargaining. And, you know, labor unions protect workers.

And if you don't support unions, you're taking away a right. We've even heard claims that unions are a natural born human. Right. Really? What about the unions dominance over politicians and industries and yes, the union dominance over workers themselves?

I mean, some believe forced union membership actually strips away the rights of workers and Kevin, that's why I think right to work legislation, it matters to a lot of people and it's gaining support at the federal level.

Congressman Joe Wilson, Republican South Carolina, introduced the National Right to Work Act in the U.S. House of Representatives. The bill is part of a two-pronged strategy, which consists of building support in Washington for the National Right to Work Act, while at the same time mobilizing opponents of forced unionism to pass their own state rights to work laws.

Right to work states have seen increased job growth compared to forced union states, and workers in right to work states earn more in real income when cost of living is taken into account, he says. Joining us now is Mark Mix, president of the National Rights to Work Committee. Good morning. How are you?

Well, I'm great, Kevin. Thank you for having me on. Thank you, Tom, as well. And this is a kind of a current debate here in Washington. And also, actually imagine this in Lansing, Michigan.

It absolutely is. It's important. ......
