After implementation, rtw laws generally increase economic inequality. however, the local socioeconomic conditions, such as racial and gender diversity in the labor force, can influence the demand for union representation and may impact the degree to which economic inequality will change. In total, results suggest that right to work laws work as intended, increasing economic inequality indirectly by lowering labor power resources. theoretical and policy implications are discussed.

Like previous studies, i found, at best, mixed results in the association between right to work laws and economic inequality when assessing a single change across contexts before and after the passage of these laws. To avoid potential sample selection issues, these declines are not just for individuals who are working, but all prime aged adults. one of the underlying reasons behind the decrease in annual earnings could be a reduction in the strength of labor unions in states that pass rtw laws. We analyze the economic and financial impact of right to work (rtw) laws in the us. using data from collective bargaining agreements, we show that there is a decrease in wages for unionized workers after rtw laws. firms increase investment and employment but reduce financial leverage.
