Moments ago, the Indiana state House passed a right to work for less bill by 55 to 41. The issue now moves to the state Senate, where its expected to be taken up and voted on next week. The Senate previously passed a different version of the bill.
Working Hoosiers by the thousands have been rallying in opposition to right to work for less each day and plan to keep it up as Gov. Mitch Daniels and his Republican statehouse colleagues push to ram through the measure.
Indiana House Speaker Brian Bosma and Gov. Mitch Daniels have been ramming the so-called right to
work bill through even after the voters have made clear that they want a public referendum on the controversial anti-worker measure. Only one-third of Indiana voters favor passing the RTW for less law and a whopping 69 percent of Hoosier voters say that the Indiana General Assembly should slow down
the process to allow more debate. An overwhelming 71 percent of respondents want to give votersnot
