The "fireman" who is talking AGAINST Amendment 47 (the "right-to-work" amendment) in Colorado (the one that gives workers the RIGHT to decide for themselves if they want to join the union or not to keep their jobs) IS a fireman. But what they don't tell you is he's also the PRESIDENT of the firefighter's union. The unions are deathly afraid this amendment will pass and half their members will "drop out." Their cushy salaries are at risk, and their unions are in danger of failing. They're spending MILLIONS to try and stop this amendment. Where did they get the money? They took it out of the pay of the members, whether or not they agreed with them. They say that passage of this amendment would "put jobs in danger" (theirs, actually) and "drive business away." Actually, it will cause businesses to come here in much larger numbers. They say it would "hurt workers." Not so. It will HELP workers. Workers should have the RIGHT to decide for themselves everywhere if they want to join a union and not have to pay anyway if they don't. Not just in Colorado. States WITH a "right-to-work" law generally have a much better business picture than those without. (
Yes on 47)
