Ask your senator to vote no on 'right-to-work' bill

A bill that would put a "right-to-work" clause in the North Carolina constitution was introduced in the state Senate on April 7. Falsely named right-to-work (RTW) laws allow workers to opt out of supporting unions while unions remain legally bound to represent them. Workers who opt out enjoy union-negotiated wages and benefits without paying dues. This robs locals of the resources they need to bargain well, enforce contracts, build solidarity, and survive labor disputes.

North Carolina already has a “right-to-work” law, but some legislators want to make it as difficult as possible to repeal the law by enshrining it in the state constitution. A constitutional amendment also could hamper federal efforts to weaken right-to-work laws.

Please take less than a minute to send a letter to your senator asking them to vote no on Senate Bill 624.
