Notice how the announcement doesn't mention the American Legislative Exchange Council?

Looks like ALEC member Drazkowski had to pull in a non ALEC member for the proposal - but then who knows - ALEC is such a secretive  organization AND ALEC members have a tendency to LIE ABOUT THEIR MEMBERSHIP - so maybe, just maybe Thompson belongs to ALEC too.

AFSCME Council 5 director Eliot Seide issued the following statement in response to another divisive constitutional amendment proposed today by tea party extremists, state Senator Dave Thompson (R-Lakeville) and state Representative Steve Drazkowski (R-Mazeppa), who want to make Minnesota a “right to work” state with fewer jobs and lower wages:

“Right to work for less is wrong for Minnesota. Minnesotans desperately need good jobs, not the right to work for $5,500 less. We must stop this attack on everyday people who deserve a decent job, health care, and a secure retirement. Until we do that, big money bullies will never get enough.

Our struggle for good jobs and economic fairness continues. As Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. so wisely cautioned in 1961: “In our glorious fight for civil rights, we must guard against being fooled by false slogans, as ‘right to work.’ It provides no ‘rights’ and no ‘works.’ Its purpose is to destroy labor unions and the freedom of collective bargaining…. We demand this fraud be stopped.”

Minnesota was once a progressive state with progressive values.

Now Minnesota is an ALEC state with corporatist values.

Such a shame, such a shame.
