It's not just Indiana where Right to Work (for less) is on the agenda. It's part of a national campaign to destroy unions. These laws are being rabidly pushed by the national GOP and will soon come up in other states, too--or even nationally. As this issue gains national attention, the New York Times has invited letters to the editor for their Sunday Dialogue.

Please write a letter to the editor, and click Like if you think our politicians should focus on jobs instead of more failed policies that leave workers in the cold.

Flip flop! Gov. Daniels was against taking away workers' rights before he sold his soul to corporate special interests.

With the selection of Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels to give the response to the State of the Union, Republicans are sending a clear signal the party is making attacks on working people a top priority in the 2012 elections.

Work doesn’t separate; it’s what binds us together. I teach your kid, you fix my car, he builds my city, she keeps it safe…work connects us all.

Check out video from our new campaign, “Work Connects Us All: America’s Unions.” Rounding out the campaign’s features are social media and online ads, and a dynamic, interactive website, http://www.workconnectsusall.org/.

Amazing photo of Hoosiers gathered at the Indiana statehouse where Republican House members are doubling down on their push to pass a “right to work” for less law.

You can show your support by clicking here http://bit.ly/wrSLkz to write and call your state legislators and urge them to vote “NO” on this bill, or at least call for a public referendum.

Today marks the 50th anniversary of the day that President John F. Kennedy signed an executive order opening the door for 2 million federal employees to join unions.

Seems fitting on a day that over 1 MILLION public employees and workers across Wisconsin sent a strong signal that they will never give up the struggle for their rights to bargain collectively for a middle class life.

As we close out our 2012 Martin Luther King King Jr Observance in Detroit, MI, read this piece from AFL-CIO Executive Vice President Arlene Holt Baker running in the Detroit Free Press.

On this important holiday, "let's remember that we are united by the thirst for justice and for economic opportunity. Let's remember that we need not be limited by what we can see today, but that with faith and hard work we can transform America's dreams into reality"
Guest commentary: Goal of true equality still challenges us all

Forty-nine years ago, on June 23, 1963, tens of thousands of people gathered here in Detroit, only weeks before hundreds of thousands went to Washington to march for jobs and freedom.

Terrific op-ed from the New Hampshire AFL-CIO tying Martin Luther King Jr. 's legacy to the anti-worker attacks in New Hampshire.
King's legacy: workers' rights
www.concordmonitor.com
At a time when workers are struggling to find decent jobs and local legislators are debating whether to strip public sector workers of their rights to form unions, we would do well to consider that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. gave his life standing up for better jobs and workers' rights.

Powerful piece by Peter Krugman of the The New York Times:

"Mitt Romney says that we should discuss income inequality, if at all, only in “quiet rooms.” There was a time when people said the same thing about racial inequality. Luckily, however, there were people like Martin Luther King who refused to stay quiet. And we should follow their example today."
How Fares the Dream?

Martin Luther King would see a nation that judges people by the size of their paychecks.
