Pennsylvania receives “D” grade for pro-union policies from Commonwealth Foundation

(WHTM) — Pennsylvania has received a grade of “D” in one new ranking of states. However, not everyone considers this bad news.

After Labor Day, the Commonwealth Foundation ‘graded’ states based on their labor laws. A handful of states in the South received an “A+.” States like Maryland and California received an “F.”

“The defining aspect of this report is that we are looking at public-sector labor policy through the lens of workers and taxpayers rather than union executives like most other reports in this area do,” said Andrew Holman, a policy analyst at the Commonwealth Foundation.

The Commonwealth Foundation is a libertarian-leaning think tank that generally believes strong public-sector unions are bad. Those who align with economic views would give Pennsylvania strong marks for the same relatively pro-union policies.
