SPRINGFIELD, Va. — Before the ink
had even dried on Oklahoma’s new
Right to Work law, Big Labor threat-
ened to file suit to thwart the will of
the state’s voters who approved a con-
stitutional amendment banning forced
union dues in Oklahoma.
The late September passage of
Oklahoma’s Right to Work law was the
culmination of a heroic eight-year cam-
paign by the Foundation’s sister organiza-

mobilize Right to Work supporters while
building strong support among Okla-

Oklahoma’s Right to Work law will
not only prevent union officials from
getting employees fired for refusing to
support a union, it will also lead to the
creation of thousands of new high-paying
jobs and greater economic prosperity
for Oklahoma’s working families.
In a statement distributed nationwide
to the media, Foundation and Committee
President Reed Larson called the pas-
sage of the new law a “tribute to the
vision and perceptiveness of Oklahoma
voters, as well as the stellar efforts of all
those who have worked for years to pass
a Right to Work law in Oklahoma.”

Referring to the unions’ expensive
ad campaign riddled with lies, Larson
added, “Sooner State voters were able
to see through the $8 million smoke-
screen laid by Big Labor and keep their
eyes focused on the principle of workers’
rights and individual freedom.”
Among numerous deceptive ads
and scare tactics, union officials bought
television ads claiming that the pro-
posed measure was “costly and confus-
ing” and that it would be overt
