Life expectancy lower in "right-to-work" states

I usually don't use CBS as a source for this blog anymore, but in the rare moments when they're not attacking Occupy, CBS can actually be marginally useful.

A new study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows that folks in states with union-busting "right-to-work" laws have a significantly shorter life expectancy than in free-bargaining states.

Gee, color me shocked.

This isn't even the first study that showed this correlation. In May, a report by the United Health Foundation showed the same thing.
