(PLEASE CROSS-POST THIS EMAIL WIDELY!) 

Hello Everyone,

As you may already know, various interest groups are pushing to put the so-called "Right to Work" issue on the 2008 ballot, which would greatly weaken workers rights in Michigan.  States with right to work laws have lower pay, lower rates of employer provided health insurance and higher on the job injuries and fatalities.  "Right to work" laws do not guarantee anyone the right to work.  Right to work petition signature gatherers hope to obtain 1/3 of the signatures needed on primary election day (January 15th).  We need 5,000 volunteers at targeted polling locations to encourage voters not to sign the petitions.  Training will be provided.

Please volunteer to keep this anti-worker initiative off the ballot.  Volunteer shifts are AM (7am-1pm) and PM (4-8pm).  

If you can help, email me your the following information ASAP:
