Don't Fall for "Right to Work" Scam
Proponents of the anti-worker initiative known as "Right to Work" are threatening to gather signatures during Tuesday's presidential primary to help in their effort to get the issue on the 2008 Michigan ballot. Proponents will try to deceive voters into signing petitions for this dangerous proposal. Don't fall for their scam—REFUSE TO SIGN!
Labor groups including MEA are mobilizing to ensure voters aren't duped into signing petitions. MEA members and other volunteers will distribute factual information to counter misleading messages that this proposal has something to do with everyone's right to a job.
