GOP Governor Matt Bevin Signs Right-To-Work In Kentucky

Since taking office in 2015, Governor Matt Bevin has promoted pro-growth policies and conservative solutions to drive economic growth in Kentucky. The latest example occurred this past weekend as Governor Bevin signed Right-To-Work legislation into law, making Kentucky the 27th Right-To-Work state in the nation. This legislation prevents Labor Unions from forcing workers to join or pay dues against their will, and ensures Kentucky will be even more competitive economically.

The Hill reports:

“Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin (R) on Saturday signed controversial legislation that will allow workers to refuse to pay union dues, a victory for Republicans who control the state government for the first time in nearly a century.

The so-called right-to-work law passed the Kentucky state Senate on Saturday. The House, which Republicans captured in November’s elections, passed the law last week.

Kentucky is the 27th state in the country to adopt right-to-work legislation, and the last state in the South to pass such a law.”
