It bespeaks of confusion or worse to offer the view that “right to work labor” leads to lower production costs. All that a right to work statute does is to give workers in a unionized operation the option of keeping their jobs even if they refuse to pay the union dues.  That has no effect whatever on the contractual rates of compensation. Nor does it affect unionization itself, which statists mostly (and erroneously) assume makes a big difference in worker compensation. Simply because workers who oppose the union will be free later on to decline to pay for it if it is voted in has no impact on the campaign to get a union certified under the NLRA.
