The Right to Work movement and independent-minded workers across America have many friends, but perhaps none more dedicated and supportive than Rep. Marilyn Musgrave.
She, once again, showed leadership on behalf of working families when she went to the House Rules Committee and pushed for consideration of a National Right to Work law. As expected, the Democrat majority shut down her amendment designed to restore volunteerism as the basis of union membership.
She knows, like AFL founder Samuel Gompers knew, that no lasting gain can be achieved through compulsion — the workers of America adhere to voluntary institutions — anything else is a menace to their rights.
Now there are 83 House co-sponsors! U.S. Representatives Mark E Green (TN 07), Earl Carter (GA 01), Eric Crawford (AR 01), Andy Harris (MD 01), and Mo Brooks (AL 05) and U.S. Senator Marsha Blackburn (TN) joined the list of Members of Congress supporting the National Right to Work Act. That brings the number up to 83 co-sponsors in the U.S. House of Representatives and 18 co-sponsors in the U.S. Senate! Are your Members of Congress on this list?
Three Alabama congressmen have co-sponsored a bill called the National Right to Work Act. Mo Brooks, Gary Palmer, and Jerry Carl all support the bill.
“Now it’s time for Right to Work supporters nationwide to show we can lobby just as effectively in support of legislation that would repeal federally imposed forced union dues and fees.”
