Book, executive vice president of the Indianapolis Chamber, told a National Right to Work Committee meeting that such laws are not aimed at union busting. "I have seen no convincing evidence that right to work laws have weakened the bargaining position of labor unions in any appreciable degree," Book told persons from 40 states who are attending the first National Right to Work Seminar.
