Assessing the Employee Welfare Impact of Right‐To‐Work Laws: Insights From State‐Level Legislation
Industrial Relations: A Journal of Economy and Society, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We examine the effect of right‐to‐work (RTW) laws on employee welfare using the stacked difference‐in‐differences (DiD) methodology. We posit that RTW laws weaken collective bargaining power, increase free riding, and ultimately reduce employee welfare. We document a significant employee welfare decline following RTW adoption, especially among

Existing studies estimate only the net turnover‐performance relationship, ignoring benefits and biasing cost estimates. We develop a theory‐driven method that separately identifies operational costs and match‐quality benefits of ...
