The Yes on 1 Committee for the so-called right-to-work amendment is pushing to put the issue on the ballot in November 2022.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Former Gov. Bill Haslam will serve as a prominent backer of a campaign to put Tennessee's law prohibiting a company and a union from requiring workers to pay union dues or fees into the state Constitution.
A news release says the Republican will serve as treasurer of the Yes on 1 Committee for the so-called right-to-work amendment on the ballot in November 2022.
“Right-to-work is a Tennessee tradition and a central driver of our state’s strong economy,” said former Gov. Haslam in the release. “This amendment will protect the rights of workers and strengthen our economy for years to come. That’s why all Tennesseans should vote 'Yes on 1' next November.”

Right to slave is what I call it!
And when dumb fuck qpukes rave about applying for a union job with terrific benefits & I ask WHY they want union benefits when they vehemently oppose unions, they look down & walk away.
Translation: inconvenient. Which prompts them to stick head in sand.
