HARRISBURG - Gov. Corbett said Monday that Pennsylvania apparently lacks the political will to become a "right-to-work" state, a key issue for conservatives as Republicans in Michigan prepare to pass such a law over the protests of organized labor.
Corbett, a first-term Republican, has never made right-to-work legislation a priority while he battles unions on other issues, and he did not say whether he would support such a bill if it reached his desk. Right-to-work bills languished in the GOP-controlled legislature without even a committee vote during the recently completed two-year session.
"There is not much of a movement to do it and lot of it has to do with the politics at the local level, at the county level and at the state level," Corbett said during a regular appearance on the The Dom Giordano Program on WPHT-AM (1210) in Philadelphia. "Until I see a strong will to get legislation passed, we have a lot of other things that we have to get passed."
