From the article: "sparked by West Virginia educators who waged a largely successful wildcat strike in 2018, even though their right to collectively bargain was unrecognized by state law".

So.. implying it isn't a legal position to bargain? So bargaining for wages is therefore ..illegal by default? I don't get this.




Yeah, many red states have made it illegal to strike. And of course, this eliminates any possible leverage that employees have over employers to force better treatment and that is precisely the reason why Republicans have done this.


"No right to collectively bargain" means non-union workers aren't forced to pay union fees.
