Stop AZ anti-union Law

Arizona is again passing another horrible law. Some of the past ones-SB1070 requiring legal US citizens to have not only drivers license but a birth certificate, laws to allow guns in bars, law to have guns on college campuses, not to teach ethnic studies in high school and not allow a teacher with an accent to teach English. Now, unions to not have collective bargaining rights at all, cant deduct union dues from paychecks and bills to strip workers of rights in the workplace. Unions are necessary to protect workers from corporate power. Corporations now force workers to work off the clock, force workers to work and not pay overtime when it was worked, no overtime pay on holidays, not providing uniforms or re-imubursing workers for uniform cost, sending workers home without pay for their travel time, cutting benefits, making workers do more and scaring workers. If you don't like it leave. At least you have a job. Companies use scare tactics to force workers to take less pay, less benefits and worse working conditions. Unions got workers benefits in the past and the government has been on the side of companies. We need to fight for our rights. Workers need to fight together and work together to stop the AZ law and all other anti worker laws.
