NAFTA debate demonstrates the failure of forced union membership

Big Labor admits in NAFTA demands forced unionism costs jobs, right-to-work laws attract them

...
As the Toronto Globe and Mail reported last month, the Trudeau government strongly believes that voluntary unionism gives the U.S. an "advantage" over Canada "in attracting jobs."

Normally, any powerful elected official who made such a claim would be denounced and ridiculed by union officials. But Trudeau wants to "fix" the U.S.'s right-to-work advantage by eliminating all state right-to-work laws rather than by prohibiting forced unionism in his own country. Consequently, Trudeau is now being hailed as a hero by union bosses such as Jerry Dias, the president of Unifor, a Canadian union conglomerate.

Union-label Canadian politicians' improbable vehicle for destroying the right to work is the ongoing renegotiation of the 1994 North American Free Trade Agreement.

Dias encouraged the Trudeau government to demand that Congress and President Trump agree to rubber-stamp a federal law overturning all state right-to-work protections for private-sector employees as a precondition for Canada to remain at the NAFTA negotiating table.

The superiority of right to work states is easily demonstrated by the red state-blue state divide.  The job growth in the US has been mainly in the red states with right to work laws. It creates more jobs and more prosperity for all.  If Canada insists on the forced union approach, then the US should reject NAFTA.  The treaty is already seen is self-destructive in many places in the US and this would alienate even more states to oppose the treaty.
