I don't see right to work laws as being favorable to liberty. I
believe the Taft-Hartley act should be repealed. Part of the act
violates the 13th Amendment because in certain situations it requires
employees to work and thus imposes involuntary servtitude. The fact
that the employees would be paid does not disqualify it as involuntary
servtitude. If someone is forced to do smething even if they are given
compensation it is still slavery. Military conscription is also a
violation of the 13th Amendment btw unless it is done as punishment
for a crime in which the accused has been duly convicted.

of that, but that is Federal Law and states only have the option of
enforcing Right to Work statutes or not. Therefore, Right to Work
laws in states are favorable to liberty if not as favorable as doing
away with T&H altogether.
