Pro-forced unionism Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) is a proponent of the so-called “Patriot Corporation Act,” a bill that says if you take away an individual’s right to vote for or against a labor union, force an employer to remain silent, and eliminate an individual employee’s right to get information about unionization from anyone other than a union organizer, you will get preferential treatment for government contracts – and reach the lofty status of a “Patriot Corporation.”
It seems that Senator Brown is worried about maintaining and, in fact, dramatically increasing Big Labor’s monopoly power over workers as a solution to job losses in his home state. There is another solution – pass the National Right to Work Bill which would simply eliminate the federal authorization that allows union officials to have workers, who refuse to pay dues or fees to a union, fired!
There is another cosponsor of the “Patriot Corporation Act” – Sen. Barack Obama.
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.”
