7. Right to work killed Idaho's future clear back when it was passed in 1986.
I was told by one employer that if we joined a union at his plant, the corporation would close the plant and relocate in a "right to work" state.
I wound up quitting that company as soon as the winter was over.
Two years later, they closed that plant down anyway.
And that was before they passed the "right to work"(for less)law.

The referendum to repeal the "right to work" law has been on the ballot several times in the last 25 years, but the sheeple in Idaho keep voting against their own best interests.
The farmers and ranchers in Idaho hate unions. And the lumber and paper companies in Idaho hate unions. So, as long as the residents accept their fate, and are willing to work as serfs, they will always be peons, beholden to the landowners.
