I’m not in a RTW state and people in my state have been arguing about it as long as I can remember. Even after I read it, I still don’t understand what it means and how it could bring wages down.

Rtw is a policy where people in certain industries are allowed to work outside of a union. Unions are important for guaranteeing certain standards of employment, such as wages, benefits, and other protections. They can only secure these things by having enough members to leverage labor against employers. RTW severely weakens unions, which in turn strengthens the ability for employers to dictate terms of employment. In general, employers will spend as little as possible on anything, including employees and our wages.
