Don't fall for the “Right to Work” scam

In 2008, Michigan may be the target of a scam ballot initiative called “Right to Work.” Much like other deceptive ballot initiatives, this out-of-state proposal twists the truth, pretending to be about everyone's right to have a job. But its true intentions are simply an attack on workers' rights and unions.

“Right to Work” doesn't have anything to do with your rights to a job. All this law would do is allow workers to receive the benefits of being in a union without having to pay dues or agency fees. It forces unions to spend resources and members' dues on these “free riders.”

Paid signature gatherers may be at polling places for the Jan. 15 presidential primary deceiving voters into signing petitions for this dangerous proposal. Don't fall for their scam—refuse to sign! To learn more about the “Right to Work” scam, go to our Issues section.
