Buckman  \nKennesaw State University  \nThe purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between state unionization policy and teacher job satisfaction in the K-12 public school environment in the states of Florida and New York (i.e., a right-to-work state and a non-right-to-work state). Data were collected via electronic survey to analyze personal demographics, human capital, workload, state union policy and job satisfaction information. A mixed effects multiple regression analysis found right-toWork laws were statistically significant for overall job satisfaction and the job satisfaction facets of work and pay. Via study it was concluded that right-to-work laws had a negative impact on teacher job satisfaction.  \nICPEL Education Leadership Review, Vol. 18, No. 1– December, 2017 ISSN: 1532-0723 © 2017 International Council of Professors of Educational Leadership  \nUnionization in America  \nRight-to-work (RTW) Laws were put into effect in 1947 with the passing of the Taft Hartley Act which granted states the power to enact regulations outlawing contractual provisions requiring new employees join unions (i.e., union shop) (Ellwood & Fine, 1987) . In addition, the Taft Harley Act outlawed closed shop requirements, demanding that workers be union members before they were hired. In sum, states who operated under RTW legislation believed that “no person [should] be required to become a union member or, conversely, be required to abstain from union membership as a condition of obtaining or retaining employment” (Lumsden & Petersen, 1975, p. 1237) .  \nMoore (1998) provided two explanations for the passage of the RTW laws. The first hypothesis indicated these laws were created as an effort to enhance the attractiveness of the state’s labor force to new businesses and to promote a faster economic growth rate (Palomba & Palomba, 1971) . Moore’s second hypothesis was that states with low economic development were subjected to pressure by employers to adopt RTW laws unless unions were able to counter the political pressure. Ultimately, Moore (1998) deduced that employers advocate for RTW legislation in order to slow the growth rate and labor union control over the workforce.  \nFrom historical maps pertaining to RTW states, high populations of states that have adopted RTW laws were located in the Southeastern Region of the United States; however, the political trend is shifting to the Northern and Midwestern Regions with the additions of Michigan (2012), Indiana (2012), Wisconsin (2015), West Virginia (2016), Missouri (2017), and Kentucky (2017) (Right-To-Work Resources, 2017) . Moore (1998) also indicated that poorer states—as defined by economic development, wages, or income—were more likely to adopt RTW laws. The researcher eluded that these particular states were ideally in need of further industrialization.  \nThe most abundant growth in RTW legislation approvals took place during the 1940s and early 1950s shortly after the passing of the aforementioned 1947 Taft-Harley Act. The TaftHartley Act was as a necessary amendment to the 1935 National Labor Relations Act (i.e., Wagner Act), which allowed unions to require universal membership or closed shop. In addition, it is important to note that this period of heavy RTW legislation approval also took place shortly after the end of the Great Depression. Using past economic trends and Moore’s suggestion concerning the potency of RTW legislation after a period of economic decline, it may be reasonable to infer that the increase in RTW laws in northern and Midwestern states were influenced by economic resurgence in a post-Great Recession economy.  \nVedder (2010), in support of RTW laws, asserted that in some situations labor unions use their influential power to extract agreements where the current marginal labor costs to employers exceed the marginal revenue a","cbCaicrrttBp1Z7V","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicrrttBp1Z7V","pdf",332637,15,"English","en",105,"# Purpose and Research Design\n# Unionization in America and RTW Law Background\n# Explanations for RTW Law Passage\n# Geographic and Economic Patterns in RTW Adoption\n# Historical Timing and Economic Context\n# Arguments Supporting RTW Laws\n# Arguments Opposing RTW Laws and Employee/Employer Impacts\n# Empirical Findings on Population, Income, and Employment","[{\"question\":\"What relationship does the study investigate?\",\"answer\":\"The study investigates the relationship between state right-to-work (RTW) unionization policy and K-12 public school teachers’ job satisfaction perceptions in Florida and New York.\"},{\"question\":\"How were the data collected and analyzed?\",\"answer\":\"Data were collected through an electronic survey covering demographics, human capital, workload, state union policy, and job satisfaction.
