This Is Their Plan: Last yea r the big corporations and right wingers teamed up to beat labor law Reform. This year they tried to repeal Davis-Bacon. Now they are planning their next antilabor crusade. They want to pass a national "right to work" law in 1981. 20 states cu rrently have "right to work" laws that undermine unions by giving workers who don't pay union dues a free ride. last year, the antilabor crowd pushed a "right to work" law in Missouri. And voters turned it down by almost 2·l. But the antilabor crowd does not give up easily. Now they've decided to seek national legislation outlawing the union shop anywhere in America. With the strong backing of the antilabor National Right to Work Committee, Iowa Sen. Roger Jepsen (who beat labor's friend Sen. Dick Clark last fall) and over 40 other members of Congress have introduced the national "right to wo rk" bills. Right now, the antilabor crowd probably doesn't have the votes in Congress to pass their bill. But they have a plan to get the votes by 1981. ...
