-ORIGIN Latin prostituere 'expose publicly, offer for sale'.
House Bill 1001- So called "right to work" passed the 3rd reading on the House floor on the afternoon of January 25th. After several representatives offered facts to those who had already made up their minds 2 months ago, the vote went down party lines as predicted. (see definition above) Now this legislation suddenly picks up the momentum of a locomotive with little chance of significant amendments. We as organized labor will now have the chance to see how organized and how dedicated we are.
Will we, AS ONE, stick to the ideals of the American Dream, uphold the oaths that we took when we joined the Union, and continue to strive to survive despite obstacles which are significantly smaller than those our forefathers faced? Or will we find that there is division amongst us; an everyone for themselves mentality as the free loaders step up to show us who AND WHAT they really are? (again,See definition above)
The coming months will determine our resolve and may determine one of the most defining moments in organized labor in the State of Indiana, the Region, and Local 697.
Yes, this is a major battle, but we have many more pending battles in the weeks ahead with more anti-labor bills to be considered. We cannot turn our backs on the predators. We must remember that so-called RTW legislation was passed in Indiana before, only to be repealed a few short years later in 1965. Yes your vote counts, now, more than ever!
