Be careful what you sign when you go to the polls for the Michigan presidential primary on Tuesday!
Conservative interest groups are likely to be at polling places gathering signatures to place an anti-worker proposal on the November election ballot. It's call "Right to Work," but union members know it's really the "Right to Work (for less)" that's being promoted. If there's any doubt about that consider the figures -- per capita income in "Right to Work for Less" states is $4,892 a year less than in states without the anti-worker legislation.
States with right to work laws also have lower rates of employer provided health insurance and higher on the job injuries and fatalities.
"Right to Work" laws do not guarantee anyone the right to work.
"Right to work (for less)" petition signature gatherers hope to obtain one-third of the signatures needed on primary election day next Tuesday (Jan. 15, 2008). We need volunteers at 43 targeted polling locations to encourage voters not to sign the petitions.
Training will be provided at 12 noon, Saturday, (Jan. 12, 2008) at the Livingston County Democratic Party office at 10321 E Grand River, Suite 600, Brighton. You’ll also receive materials to pass out.
Please volunteer to keep this anti-worker initiative off the ballot. Volunteer
shifts are AM (7am-1pm) and PM (4-8pm). The shift hours can be negotiated.
If you can help, email Penelope Ann Tsernoglous at ptsernog@umich.edu the following information ASAP or you can call Donna Anderson at 248 719-0112 to let us know you will be attending the training:
