Join NC Dems as we pack the gallery at the legislature in Raleigh! A vote is scheduled in the Senate on Wednesday at 11 am on a constitutional amendment to Right to Work.
NC Republicans know they are facing growing Democratic momentum across this state, so they are rushing a right to work constitutional amendment through instead of focusing on passing a state budget that is ten months overdue.
Here’s what they’re not telling voters: this policy is already law in North Carolina and has been since 1947. Existing federal law already prohibits requiring union membership as a condition of employment. This amendment would not create any new rights or freedoms for workers.
What it does do is give Republicans another divisive political issue to put on the ballot because they are worried about turnout in a year where Democrats have real momentum.
We’re packing the gallery at the NCGA to send a clear message: we stand with workers. Let’s fill every seat in the gallery and remind our elected officials who they serve!
