Protecting Virginia’s Right-to-Work

At the Virginia Chamber of Commerce, we’re focused on championing and protecting Virginia’s right-to-work statute as the foundation of workforce flexibility, employee choice, and the freedom of association. Right-to-work helps keep Virginia competitive by supporting a climate where businesses can grow, jobs can expand, and workers can make decisions about representation and dues consistent with their personal beliefs.

Why Right-to-Work Matters

Right-to-work is about maintaining a pro-opportunity environment for employers and employees alike. It supports:

• Employee choice in whether to join or financially support a labor organization

• Workforce flexibility that helps employers respond to market needs

• A competitive business climate that strengthens Virginia’s ability to attract and retain jobs

• Freedom of association—protecting individual decisions
