Who Is Behind The Attack On Unions?

From the Washington State Labor Council comes this alert on the culprits behind Right To Work (For Less) legislation sweeping the country. As we await the Janus decision form the Supreme Court, it is important for all Union members to understand the impact that a national RTW legislation will have on both the Public and Private Sector workers. Please share this info to friends, coworkers, and family via social media.
