DC Support Urged for Indiana Battle Against "Right To Work"

(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)With so-called “Right to Work” legislation actively being moved in the Indiana House and Senate, the DC-area labor movement is swinging into action. “If we don’t succeed in Indiana, RTW will spread like a cancer across state lines,” warns the AFL-CIO, urging local support to help reinforce Indiana’s troops. Here are ways to help: offer to turn on and staff an existing phone bank that is not currently being used; send busloads of members/activists to an Indiana lobby day; release a staff member to the field program; send funds to: A Working Person Like You, 1701 W. 18th St., Indianapolis, IN 46202. Contact Diane Ebenreiter at 920-912-2249, debenrei@aflcio.org to coordinate any of the above activities. - photo by Tom Strattman/AP
