Happy anniversary to North Carolina’s right-to-work law!
Seventy-five years ago, on March 18, 1947, North Carolina became one of the first states in the country to give workers the freedom to choose whether or not to pay a union.
That simple statement opens the text of a state law that has helped boost North Carolina’s economic competitiveness for nearly 75 years.
The General Assembly will consider a measure to enshrine North Carolina’s right-to-work policies in the state constitution. In essence, employees have the right — but not the obligation — to join a labor union.
