Monday's meeting, to illustrate
the union views of how right-to-
work affects workers and the
trade labor movement in the
United States. It said that it
has done nothing for working
people and continually keeps
wage rates lower than those of
workers organized in unions.

In a report, the group was
told that non-union contractors
in the area have refused to hire

An employee of the Koote-

companies in the West Koote-
