West Virginia State Director Jason Huffman joins the Prosperity Podcast this week to talk about the right-to-work push in his state, where legislators will vote this week on a new right-to-work law this week.

Huffman talks about what it would mean for Mountaineers for West Virginia if it becomes the 26th right-to-work state and how it would create new opportunities at a time when the state’s economy is in desperate need of change.

“This issue, right-to work, polls at nearly 60 percent across the state, and that’s in numerous polls done by various folks,” Huffman said.

“It’s just a very popular issue, and the fact of the matter is, West Virginia tends to have pro-union homes. So that states the point that right to work is not an anti- union measure, whatsoever, in fact it’s for collective prosperity. It’s for everyone to do better.”

Check out the full podcast to hear more about this pivotal legislative battle on the year’s biggest state issue, along with an unveiling of AFP-WV’s next major policy priority.
