Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels signed a “right-to-work” bill into law for his state on Wednesday. The Hoosier State’s capitol of Indianapolis is the site of Sunday’s Super Bowl between the New York Giants and New England Patriots. Ironically, every athlete in that game belongs to the NFL Players Association, a staunch opponent of RTW.

The law makes Indiana the 23rd RTW state, while Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire and Ohio all face upcoming fights. With RTW remaining a controversial economic issue in 2012, here is some of EPI’s recent work on the topic:
