Today I happened to be re-verifying that I’m registered to vote when I noticed a link to the ballot. The first “question” on the ballot, unless I’m reading this wrong, seems to be a blatant attack on unions. This is the first I’ve heard or seen of it. For your perusing pleasure:
Proposed Constitutional Amendment Question 1 |
Should Article I of the Constitution of Virginia be amended to prohibit any agreement or combination between an employer and a labor union or labor organization whereby (i) nonmembers of the union or organization are denied the right to work for the employer, (ii) membership to the union or organization is made a condition of employment or continuation of employment by such employer, or (iii) the union or organization acquires an employment monopoly in any such enterprise? |
I may not be following the news enough locally, but I hadn’t heard of this until now. There’s not enough awareness I think here in VA of this attack…
(Searching, I’m finding articles from February when this was put in the ballot.)
