Faced with criticism from the union bosses and their political directors, Indiana Democratic gubernatorial candidate John Gregg has a new “posture” on the state’s new Right to Work law that is bringing business to the state.
In February Gregg said “It’s time to move beyond this divisive issue. Indiana needs a governor and a legislature that show up for work every day and works together with one focus — creating jobs, whether it’s for a union or non-union workplace.”
But now, carrying water for the union bosses, he is seeking repeal of the law. National Journal says he has “come all the way around.” Big Labor’s political largess tends to do that to weak politicians.
New co-sponsors added to the growing list of members supporting the National Right To Work Act: Rep. Brett Guthrie (KY 02), Sen. Thom Tillis (NC) and Rep Michael Burgess (TX 26). Now there are 78 co-sponsors in the U.S. House of Representatives and 21 co-sponsors in the U.S. Senate. Are your Members Of Congress on this list?
Thanks largely to aggressive grass-roots activism by members of the National Right to Work Committee, the number of congressional cosponsors of the forced-dues repeal legislation introduced in the U.S. House and Senate early this year continues to rise. S.525 and H.R.2571, respectively introduced early in the 2019-20 Congress by Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and Rep. Joe Wilson (R-S.C.), had a combined total of nearly 100 sponsors as this Newsletter went to press in early October. These essentially identical bills would not add a single word to federal labor law. Instead, they would simply repeal the current provisions in the federal code that authorize and promote the termination of employees for refusal to pay dues or fees to an unwanted union.
