In Utah, Labor Groups Submit More Than 320,000 Signatures - More Than Double The Number Required, In Their Effort To Repeal An Anti-Union Bill Passed By The Republican-Led Legislature This Year

Robert Gehrke at The Salt Lake Tribune reports Labor Groups have submitted more than 320,000 signatures - more than double the number required, in their effort to repeal an Anti-Union Bill passed by the Republican-led Utah State Legislature this year. The overwhelming number makes the Unions’ Protect Utah Workers Campaign the largest signature-gathering campaign in State History. Union Members delivered about 20 banker’s boxes of signature packets to the Salt Lake County Clerk’s Office before gathering outside and singing “Solidarity Forever,” a popular anthem of Trade Unions. “This is what solidarity looks like. A coalition of (19) Labor Unions came together - Firefighters, Police Officers, Educators, Nurses, Miners, Food Workers - all in support of this," said Donovan Minutes, a Salt Lake City Firefighter. “Public Workers are the backbone of this State. We keep it educated, we keep it safe, we keep it strong.”
