Help Us Fight Forced Unionism!
We at the National Right to Work Committee are fighting at many levels to protect America's working men and women's right to decide for themselves whether or not a union deserves their financial support.
Whether it be in the state and federal legislatures, the courts, or hearing rooms at the FEC or the NLRB, we fight to ensure that workers join unions because they want to – not out of fear or federal mandate.
Please become an active member by pledging a monthly gift, or by helping us financially on one of the specific legislative efforts highlighted above.
Terry Advisory
FOR RELEASE: July 30, 2002
Dear Editor:
On Thursday, August 1, Doug Stafford, Director of Membership for the 2.2 million-member National Right to Work Committee®, will hold a press conference in Omaha to unveil the grassroots group’s upcoming ad campaign calling on 2nd District Congressman Lee Terry to keep his campaign promise to cosponsor and seek roll-call votes on legislation to end forced unionism.
The 3:00 PM press conference will take place at the Doubletree Downtown, 1616 Dodge Street, Omaha, Nebraska.
TV advertisements that will run throughout the 2nd District are part of a $1.7 million nationwide media and direct mail campaign initiated by the National Right to Work Committee® in July.
The 6th District ad will be previewed at the August 1 Omaha press conference. For directions, see the following page.
The National Right to Work Committee®’s aim is to boost Congressional support for the National Right to Work Act (H.R. 1109), which would end forced unionism nationwide by removing the provisions in federal law that authorize union officials to confiscate dues from workers as a condition of employment.
Congressman Terry pledged during his 1998 campaign to “cosponsor and seek roll-call votes on” the National Right to Work Act. But since his arrival in Washington, despite strong support for the bill from nearly 80% of his constituents, Mr. Terry has failed to follow through.
It is vital to the success of this crucial reform that every Congressman who pledged to cosponsor the National Right to Work Act do so immediately.
My staff and I hope you will cover this press conference. We will be in touch with you soon to follow up.
Sincerely,
Kirsten Andersen
Director of Communication
