For more than 70 years, Virginia’s Right-to-Work laws have been the foundation of our economic success and the cornerstone of the Commonwealth’s reputation as a top state for business. Right-to-Work laws protect a basic principle: that a person’s job should not depend on whether or not they join or pay to support a union. In Virginia, this means that while employees are free to join a union if they would like to, they cannot be required to do so as a condition of employment. That freedom has helped attract new businesses, foster innovation, and create opportunities for individuals across the Commonwealth. Without Right-to-Work, employees would lose this freedom, businesses would face higher costs, consumers would pay more for everyday goods and services, and Virginia would fall behind other states aggressively competing for new business investment and jobs.
