Bill > HJR0687

This Joint Resolution, known as the "Right to Work Amendment," proposes to add a new section to the Constitution of Tennessee that would establish the right for individuals to work regardless of their affiliation with any labor union or employee organization. In plain language, this means that employers would be prohibited from denying someone a job based on whether they are a member of a union, have left a union, or refuse to join one. The resolution emphasizes that this right is considered a fundamental civil right and has contributed to Tennessee's economic success, and it outlines the process for this proposed constitutional amendment to be considered by a future General Assembly and published for public awareness.
