For Immediate Release:

May 15, 2015

Jason Nemes, who is defending local-right-to-work against union challenges in Hardin County, Kentucky, will be joining the panel at the Center for Worker Freedom’s town hall in Bowling Green, Kentucky.

The town hall will be held at the Corvette Museum on Monday, May 18th at 6:00 PM CST and feature presentations from labor experts and lawmakers, in addition to Jason Nemes, promoting the advantages of right-to-work:

State Representative Jim DeCesare, 17th District, Warren, Butler counties

Jim Waters, President, Bluegrass Institute

Matt Patterson, Executive Director, Center for Worker Freedom

Ron Bunch, Bowling Green Area Chamber of Commerce

Jon Crosby, Field Representative of Senator Rand Paul

Workers, managers, business owners and Kentuckians will be educated on the benefits of right-to-work ordinances – which give workers the freedom to opt out of union membership and dues – that began sweeping the state late last year. This movement started with Warren County in December 2014, and to date, Hardin County and 10 others have followed.

The Bowling Green Area Chamber reported that since Warren County became right-to-work, it has received interest from more than 40 companies, representing over $800 million in potential investment and 4,000 new jobs.

WHAT: Local-right-to-work town hall meeting

WHO: Workers, business owners, managers and Kentuckians interested in learning about a way to boost the economy and expand worker freedom

WHEN: Monday, May 18th from 6:00-7:30 PM CST
