The Hill: Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), who's vying for the Democratic nomination for president, called for a federal ban on so-called right-to-work laws in a Monday speech.
Speaking to the International Association of Machinists at the union's conference in Las Vegas, Sanders said as president he would push legislation in Congress to prohibit the laws. Right-to-work laws bar unionized workplaces from negotiating contracts under which all members who benefit from the contract must contribute dues. Twenty-six states currently have right-to-work laws on the books.
