Day 1 Thoughts

The discussion of the laws establishing the NLRA was interesting. It brought some clarity to their creation. I found the discussion of the different "shop" options interesting. The obvious differences between the two states is fascinating. It would make sense that there is a stronger "union feel" in Illinois due to the industrial history of the state. The enormous bank of family farms, agriculture and the rural culture in Iowa would explain the maintenance of Right to Work laws that still exist.
