Senate Public Affairs is expected to hear a so called "Right to Work" bill, SB 179, on Tuesday afternoon in Senate Public Affairs, room 321.  Please contact members of that committee and ask them to stand strong with working people by voting "NO" on SB 179.

Please be kind to the people answering the phone--regardless of how their legislator is voting, they are simply working for all of us and deserve our respect.
