Subject: | Pennsylvania Open Workforce Initiative Package |
In the near future, a six bill package will be introduced which focuses on issues regarding freedom in the workplace. They will give workers the right to decide where they work and what organizations they join. We request your support in pursuit of freedom in the workplace. If you have any questions please contact Gina Buffington at gbuffing@pahousegop.com or 717-783-1707. The following proposals will prohibit compulsory unionism and make Pennsylvania a Right-To-Work state. |
