1. You mean "The Right to work for Less" amendment

because that is what it really is

[demosincebirth]

2. For many people, RTW laws means just the opposite of what they're suppose to mean.

[Morning Dew]

4. And in that spirit, MN pukes will figure a way to make voting against it mean voting for it.

Props to whoever came up with the idea (unionworks, maybe?) of calling it a SCAB law.

RTW state = Scab state.

3. Sorry, where does it give what the amendment says?

Is it a constitutional amendment prohibiting the right to work?

[Omaha Steve]

5. Right to work means you don't have to belong to a union in your workplace

Extremist groups, right-wing politicians and their corporate backers want to weaken the power of workers and their unions through so-called right to work for less laws. Their efforts are a partisan political ploy that undermines the basic rights of workers. By making unions weaker, these laws lower wages and living standards for all workers in the state. In fact, workers in states with these laws earn an average of $5,538 less a year than workers in other states. “Right to work” for less is closer to the truth.

6. I know that. What I don't know is what the amendment proposes in regards to right to work.

To ban right to work?
To make it the law?
Something else?

8. My Bad

The amendment would make it state law in MN.

[Honeycombe8]

7. Against. If "right to work" means the law letting people cross union lines. I think they SHOULD

be able to cross union lines, in some instances, but I don't think that should be a constitutional amendment.
