Excerpt on Right to Work from Brian Bosma
…when as many as a half of the companies looking to create jobs in the U.S. take non-RTW states off the table, removing this barrier to opportunity is absolutely key to the economic future of our state. Governor Daniels has informed me that his phone is already ringing off the hook with employers wanting to know more about Indiana and the opportunity to expand here. I have personally heard from representatives of Michigan and Illinois companies considering relocating to Indiana, and have even had personal conversations with manufacturing representatives from as far away as Germany and Italy that have renewed interest in Indiana in light of the adoption of this pro-job pro-freedom policy. It is certainly a victory for all Hoosiers that courageous legislators were willing to put it all on the line for our state’s future success, even in the face of shouts and intimidation. Please extend your thanks to all of the members of the House and Senate who worked together to advance this critical policy…

Indiana Becomes 23rd Right to Work State!
Congratulations to our Indiana Governor and all of our Indiana legislators that worked hard to pass Right To Work legislation this session. They withstood a lot of heat in order to do the right thing. Thank you also to the Democratic Caucus for staying and making their position heard rather than leaving for Illinois again.
I have no doubt that this was the right thing to do, both as an employee freedom of choice issue and as an Indiana Economic Development issue. Maybe Indiana can be the first State in our Midwest region to begin to stem the tide of manufacturing jobs moving to the South.
