In my opinion, the most potent obstacle to getting a vote on the National Right to Work Act was Congressman John Boehner. He blocked it for all of the years that he chaired of the Education and Labor Committee. Within the committee itself, there were enough votes to get it to the floor, but Boehner would not allow a vote in the committee. So, for the six years that there was a Republican majority in both houses of congress and we had a president who would have signed a Right to Work bill, John Boehner stood in the way. You would have to ask him for his reasons.
