Why "Right to" WORK FOR LESS is BAD for working families!

Out-of-state corporate interests are once again pushing a
dangerous ballot initiative that would undermine the democratic
way that unions operate in Colorado. The more aptly named 'Work
for Less' Initiative reduces the ability of employees to
negotiate for safe working conditions and quality health care.

The Work for Less initiative will allow the government to
interfere in the workplace, undermining the freedom that
employers and workers currently have to negotiate the best
solution for them. This constitutional amendment would override
a majority decision in the workplace rather than let employees
and employers negotiate what's best for them in the workplace.

No one in Colorado can be required to join a union today, and
employees are only required to pay a fee for union
representation if both the employer and its employees agree.
When people at a worksite vote to join a union, the union works
for higher wages and better benefits for everyone. This
initiative will allow non-union members to gain the same
benefits as their coworkers without paying their fair share of
the dues.

All Colorado taxpayers will pay the price for this initiative.
The initiative threatens to reduce the ability of employees to
negotiate for health benefits. When Colorado workers stop
receiving health care through their jobs, more people will need
help from state health insurance programs. This means that
taxpayers, not business, will foot the bill.

Colorado doesn't need another misguided constitutional
amendment. The Work for Less initiative is supported by
powerful, out-of-state, special interests, who are trying to
promote their own corporate agendas by changing our
constitution. It's time for the special interests to stop
playing political games and let us work on the real issues
facing Coloradans. We need to protect Colorado's future by
working for good jobs and affordable health care.

We must fight to keep this dangerous initiative off the November
ballot.
