On Tuesday, May 12^th, a lunch panel was held at the Heritage Foundation in the Van Andel Center, where the topic of the day was local right-to-work ordinances. The host was James Sherk, a Research Fellow of Labor Economics at the Heritage Foundation.

Sherk gave an introduction of home-rule based right-to-work ordinances, a new phenomenon that has passed in twelve counties in Kentucky already. Four other counties are now considering passing right-to-work ordinances.

United Farm Workers Falls on its Face

On May 4th, the United Farm Workers (UFW) promised to march to Americans for Tax Reform's Washington, DC offices on Cinco de Mayo, where they would protest the Center for Worker Freedom's support of Fresno, California workers fighting to escape the UFW.

Two wrongs don’t make a right.

So why would anyone think it’s okay to commit an injustice while protesting another injustice? 

Unsurprisingly, President Obama vetoed S. J. Resolution 8, which supporters had hoped would nullify the National Labor Relations Board’s (NLRB) ambush election rule.

Americans for Tax Reform (ATR) and the Center for Worker Freedom (CWF) are proud to support Rep. Jody Hice’s soon-to-be introduced Federal Employee Accountability Act.

This bill would restrict unionized federal employees from conducting union business during work hours, an outrageous practice known as “official time.”

The U.S. Office of Personal Management reports that in merely one year, workers spent almost 3.4 million hours on “official time,” wasting about $157 million taxpayer dollars.
