Mark Mix, president of the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation and the National Right to Work Committee, issued a statement on Labor Day 2024 emphasizing the significance of worker freedom.

"On Labor Day, we celebrate the dedication and ingenuity of America’s working people. Their hard work is truly what keeps this nation prosperous and thriving, but union officials invariably attempt to hijack Labor Day to promote an agenda that undermines the rights and freedoms of our nation’s working men and women," Mix stated.

Mix highlighted concerns regarding union activities during the election year. "That’s especially true during this election year when union officials are claiming that America’s workers are headed for disaster unless their handpicked candidates ascend to power and enact their radical policy agenda. But it’s plain to see that union bosses’ agenda prioritizes divisive politics and coercing workers far above what workers actually want – more freedom."

He criticized Big Labor's legislative priority, the "PRO-Act," which he claims would eliminate state Right to Work protections. "Big Labor is still pushing as its number-one legislative priority the radical 'PRO-Act,' which will eliminate all state Right to Work protections and force millions more workers to pay union dues just to keep their jobs," Mix said. He pointed out that Vice President Kamala Harris supports nationwide forced-dues despite acknowledging in a Supreme Court brief that unions can undermine workers' economic interests.

"This may be a winning strategy for collecting union boss-directed PAC contributions and endorsements, but stripping workers of the right to choose freely whether union membership and financial support is right for them is without a doubt anti-worker," Mix continued. He emphasized that most workers are not unionized and have no interest in becoming union members according to polls.

"Elected officials of all political stripes are right to want the votes of hardworking Americans, but the way to win those votes is not granting special interest union bosses the legal power to threaten workers to pay up or be fired," Mix argued. "The real pro-worker position is Right to Work, which trusts workers with the choice so each can join and pay dues to a union if they want but none can be required to join or pay against their will."

Mix's statement coincides with a newly released nationwide poll by Rasmussen Media Group showing overwhelming support for Right to Work (82%), including among voters across party lines. The poll also revealed that 79 percent of union members back Right to Work and oppose forced union membership and dues.
