Author: Reed E. Larson

Reed E. Larson has become the nation’s leading opponent of laws that require certain workers to pay dues to labor unions involuntarily. A 1947 graduate of Kansas State University and a veteran of the U.S. Army, Mr. Larson has held leadership positions in both the Kansas and U.S. Junior Chambers of Commerce, responsibilities that persuaded him to lead a successful drive for a Right to Work law in his home state. He went on to become executive vice president of the newly formed National Right to Work Committee and, in 1968, founded the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation, a nonprofit organization that provides free legal assistance to workers whose rights have been violated by union leaders or organizers. Mr. Larson has been honored with the International Platform Association’s James J. Kilpatrick Award and an honorary degree from Campbell University.
