There will be no right to work law in the state of Delaware.
The Republican measure was turned down by Democrats in the state Senate Labor Committee yesterday with the backing of unions.
Under the bill right-to-work zones could have been carved out to attract manufacturing and it would have kept workers from having to join a union or pay for the upkeep of a union contract.
Since 1990 the state has seen more than 20-thousand manufacturing jobs disappear from the First State.
There are 25 states that have right-to-work laws.
