  • University of Illinois study shows "right to work" (for less) would harm Illinois workers
    Posted On: Feb 16, 2015

    The University of Illinois and University of Michigan recently teamed up to study, what would happen if a union state like Illinois suddenly went “right to work,” weakening unions.

    Here’s their conclusions:

    * Wages would fall by 5-7 percent;

    * Manufacturing wages would drop by 9 percent;

    * Constrution worker earnings would fall by 22 percent;

    * There might be a slight drop in unemployment, from 9.1 percent to 8.4 percent, but it may only be temporary;

    * 107 additional constrution workers would die on the job annually, due to work-related accidents;

    * After the third year of adoption, annual total worker income would drop for between $2 - $9 billion, and by $35-40 billion over the next five years;

    * Illinois would have less money, because wages would decrease, meaning less tax revenue; this could mean a loss of $1.5 billion in tax revenue over five years.
