	"description": "Over the past several years, powerful corporations have waged war upon working-poor and middle-class people in the state of Tennessee. They lobbied the legislature to amend our constitution by adding the so-called Right to Work amendment – also known as Amendment 1 – that will be voted on in the November 2022 elections. If passed, Amendment 1 will significantly undermine working-class families that bear the burden of our state’s services, pay the highest state sales taxes in the country, and that bear the burden of sustaining the state’s services. At the same time, the passage of Amendment 1 stands to benefit the top corporations in the state, most of which pay little to no revenue-generating taxes. So called right to work policies were drafted 80 years ago by racial segregationists who feared unions would lead to integration and smaller profits. In 1961, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. stated: “Wherever [right-to-work] laws have been passed, wages are lower, job opportunities are fewer and there are no civil rights.” Civil rights activists also understood that collective bargaining and democracy in the workplace offer the best chance to unify everyday people across racial lines. Thus, they opposed right-to-work policies which represent segregation by another name. States that have right-to-work laws similar to Amendment 1 have lower pay, more workplace deaths and injuries, weaker family and medical leave policies, lower school funding, and stagnant economies. Together we will vote against Amendment One, and take action to encourage others to vote No with us. Early voting is October 19th to November 3rd. Election day is November 8th. Tennessee deserves better. We say No to corporate greed and poverty wages, No to a rigged system, No to Amendment 1.   Members of the Vote No On One committee include (organizations listed for identification purposes) Vonda McDaniel, Nashville and Middle Tennessee Central Labor Council June Rosten, Knoxville Oak Ridge Central Labor Council Kevin Bradshaw, Memphis and West Tennessee Central Labor Council Jeffrey Lichtenstein, Tennessee For All member Tennessee State Conference of the NAACP State Labor &amp;amp; Industry Committee",
