CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — West Virginia is set to become the 26th right-to-work state. State lawmakers rebuked Thursday's veto by Democratic Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin, voting along party lines in their House and Senate. Some House Republicans voted 'no.' A simple majority was required. So-called "right to work" states prohibit companies from requiring employees to pay union dues as a condition of employment. Unions are still required to represent every worker. The law applies to new collective bargaining agreements. Democrats said right to work undermines unions without clear benefit. Republicans contended that a new path is needed for the suffering coal-mining state. In his veto, Tomblin wrote that right to work would produce little-to-no economic growth and could lower wages. The law becomes effective in May.
