Earlier this year, with a newly-flipped House and Senate, the more than seven-decades long right-to-work law came under fire. The state’s right-to-work law allows Virginians to work and keeps conditions like joining a union as a requirement for employment in the state at bay.
In November, Gov. Ralph Northam shared his support of small businesses by not supporting a repeal of the state’s right-to-work law. NFIB is opposed to the repeal of the state’s right-to-work law, which makes Virginia a more competitive state, regionally and nationally, and allows more opportunities for small, locally-owned businesses.
“We really appreciate his [the governor’s] support and hopefully that will resonate with the new majority,” said NFIB’s Virginia State Director Nicole Riley in an interview with the Richmond-Times Dispatch. “It certainly gives us hope that it won’t happen. We will still have to see what are the priorities of the new majority, and we certainly know that this probably isn’t going to go away.”
