“I can not imagine a real justification for a worker in Alabama who does not have any health insurance at his company to be taxed to maintain a Cadillac health care plan for somebody in Detroit.” Sen. Jeff "Right-to-Work (for Less)" Sessions, R- Ala.

Sen, Sessions’ comment speaks volumes about right-to-work states like Alabama and their dismal ranking on quality of life issues like infant mortality, average life span, income, access to health care, and literacy to name just a few. That Sen. Sessions feels no remorse in using Alabama’s endemic poverty as a club to attack UAW employees whose families benefit from the blessings afforded by a living wage shows his callous disregard for Alabama’s working poor.
