Terry McAuliffe gets $500K boost from large labor union amid flip on right-to-work stance
Fox News
Virginia Democratic gubernatorial nominee Terry McAuliffe has received another large donation from organized labor after reversing his position on right-to-work legislation in the state.
Right-to-work laws guarantee an employee's right to refuse to join a labor union and prevent union dues from being a requirement for employment. More than two dozen states, including Virginia, have right-to-work laws in place, and labor unions and progressive groups continually seek to overturn the statutes. The recent donation comes from an organization that has vehemently opposed right-to-work legislation. LIUNA's website refers to the "so-called right to work" as forcing "unions to represent workers who don't pay dues."More Related News
