Federalizing Right to Work

Senator Jim DeMint has introduced national right to work legislation which would outlaw compulsory unionism on a national basis rather than leaving the issue up to the states. It is co-sponsored by seven other Republican senators, including our own David Vitter. I cannot help but think that this is essentially an anti-state's rights initiative. If you read the press releases it almost seems like the legislation would allow voluntary unionism without need of establishing majority status, but that surely is not the case, rather just the public relations face.
