Katrina --
The state legislature may vote as soon as today on a harmful plan to undermine Indiana's public employees' right to organize.
Gov. Mitch Daniels and his allies are trying to ram through this attack on working people -- from folks who staff our hospitals to those who plow our streets -- stripping away their ability to form effective unions.
This will make it harder for them to fight for the better working conditions their families need and deserve, and could open the door to harsher restrictions for all Indiana workers.
The bill is coming up for a vote just days after it was introduced, leaving almost no time for real public debate. But our allies are fighting back -- and they need our voices to back them up.
Our lawmakers are looking to their constituents as they decide how to vote -- and your call could make the difference right now.
Call the State House switchboard at (800) 382-9842 and follow the instructions to reach your state lawmakers directly, or click here to look up your state legislator.
Indiana's workers represent the best our state has to offer.
They're not numbers or statistics.
They are mothers and fathers. They are our friends and our neighbors. They care for the patients in our hospitals and rehabilitate those in our correctional facilities. They protect and patrol our state parks. They provide the vital services that keep our communities running.
They deserve a seat at the bargaining table -- but that's not what Gov. Daniels and his allies in the legislature have in mind.
With their attacks on union membership, they're trying to bypass dialogue and rush through a bill to strip away workers' rights -- but we'll make our voices impossible to ignore. Together, we can let our lawmakers know that we won't stand for a plan that could lower wages, reduce benefits, and snatch away the fundamental organizing rights of thousands.
Call your lawmakers today at (800) 382-9842 and ask them to vote to preserve the rights of Indiana's public workers -- or click here to look up your state legislator:
