I had a problem with my computer a few months ago, and I had a technician working on it remotely from western India. At one point while a diagnostic tool was running, he said, "Wow, your internet is not very good." I couldn't help but agree. I knew my internet was terrible (I live in a medium-sized city on the Great Plains), but for someone in a "developing" country to marvel at how bad it is really put it in sharp perspective.
According to Dr. Hari Singh, a professor of business at Grand Valley State University (located outside Grand Rapids, Michigan), auto workers in "Right to Work" states make considerably less money per year than their counterparts in non-"Right to Work" states. In 2009, the average Michigan auto worker made $74,000. That same year, "Right to Work" auto workers made $53,000 in Tennessee.
A quick correction, professor. Michael Dorn would not be the first African-American lead in the Star Trek franchise. Avery Brooks was the lead on "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" from 1993 to 1999 as Captain Benjamin Sisko.
The sad thing is, those income inequalty numbers are laughably tame compared to the income inequality numbers in the US.

Perhaps counter-legislation could be called "Right to Earn a Living."
