Utah’s Lieutenant Governor confirmed this week that a coalition of Unions have gathered enough signatures for a referendum to overturn State Legislation restricting Collective Bargaining Rights for Public Sector Workers. Unions across the State banded together to fight H.B. 267, which was authored by out-of-state Anti-Worker Think Tanks. This Bill was passed by the State Legislature in February and severely weakens the rights of Public Sector Workers to bargain for fair wages and safe working conditions. Organizers submitted 320,000 signatures from voters calling for a vote to repeal the legislation. Unless opponents to the referendum remove enough signatures to disqualify it, voters will consider the measure this Fall.
