Dear Editor,
I oppose “Right to Work” legislation sponsored by Rep. Brinkman because it’s misguided and harmful to workers and the middle class. These attacks on workers are an attempt by CEOs who put profits before people. These extremists are misleading us on purpose – they want to trick people into supporting these dangerous policies that benefit the people at the top while hurting the rest of us.
The far-reaching consequences of these policies are clear: in states where workers’ rights are denied, deaths on the job are 36 percent higher, and household incomes are $535 per month less than in other states.
Your freedom in the workplace is already protected, but these policies will take away basic workers’ rights. “Right to Work” is wrong – don’t trust it.
