VOTE NO on Article I. Bill of Rights, Section 11-A, the so-called “Right to work” amendment to the Constitution, an attempt to enshrine part of Virginia’s existing right to work law in our state constitution. Amendment 1 is designed by big business (Virginia-style Trumponomics) to silence the voices of hardworking Virginians by eviscerating unions, keeping workers unorganized and unable to fight for better wages, fair scheduling, and safer working environments.
Republicans in the Virginia House are playing at pandering partisan politics with an issue that has shown to be time and again a detriment to people who put in a hard day’s work…. [T]o enshrine a policy like Right to Work in the Constitution, rather in the code of Virginia where it can be debated and modified, is reckless and at high cost to the taxpayers both morally and financially. – Charniele L. Herring, D-46.
We need policies that protect workers, put our families first, and help strengthen our communities.
