Arkansas: Republican Assembly Comments on Index of Worker Freedom
According to the Arkansas Republican Assembly:
Bill Smith, ARRA New Service Editor: We obtained an advance copy of the inaugural edition “2007 Index of Worker Freedom (IWF): A National Report Card” that will be released Thursday at the National Press Club in Washington D.C. by the Alliance for Worker Freedom (AWF).
The 2007 IWF is the first state-by-state comparative study that measures the level of worker freedom by analyzing policy as well as quantitative state data. With this inaugural edition, the AWF has taken the first step in providing a metric to use as a basis for time-series and trend analysis from this point forward.
Brian Johnson, AWF’s Director of Policy related that “With the recent political alignment between the Left and Big Labor unions, and the most recent invasions on worker freedom, it has become apparent that certain states are placing more emphasis on respecting workers rights than those which support controlled and regulated labor markets. This unique, first ever publication has never been more needed.”...click to continue.
