Remembering What Nixon Learned

A half-century ago, Richard Nixon spearheaded his party's national congressional campaign in the face of a recession like the one we face today. Then Dwight Eisenhower's vice president, he decided that as a way to defeat Democrats the GOP would champion anti-worker laws pioneered in the segregationist South. Specifically, he rolled out "right to work" ballot initiatives to weaken the labor movement. These measures ban contracts that compel employees who benefit from union representation to contribute union dues.
