First Wisconsin casualty of 'Right to Work', major company moving to Minnesota (xpost from Labor)

[KamaAina]

Hoffman Construction, a major road building and mining company is abandoning Wisconsin because of the Right to Work legislation just passed.

According to Duluth News Tribune "Hoffman said Monday night that the reason is twofold: he believes the right-to-work law will ultimately cost his company money, and he sees Minnesota’s proposal to increase transportation funding as offering greater business opportunities."

Some companies realize that union work is an advantage to companies. Working together on problems, joint safety committees, agreeing on other items like seniority, vacation, health care can only make a company stronger.

Hooray for Hoffman Construction Company. Maybe more will follow their lead.

1. It's not abandoning Wisconsin totally. It's expanding its Minnesota office.

Still, worth mentioning.
