Labor groups oppose Texas right to work bill and union shop ban
Labor groups in the Panhandle oppose the right to work bill before the Texas legislature. Bricklayers discuss the measure with State Senator Grady Hazlewood and Representative Jack Little. The proposal would outlaw the closed shop and would be voted on if the constitutional amendment is approved. Proponents say returning servicemen should be free to take any suitable job regardless of union membership.

Union law debated impact on labor and professional associations
Union leaders argued the law targets labor unions only and would not affect doctors lawyers or cattlemen associations. Bricklayers outlined programs to employ returning servicemen and allow capable veterans to join if standards are met, calling the bill an attack on organized labor. Opal Lee Bone enlisted in the WAC and reported for training at Ft. Oglethorpe as part of Amarillo’s first group.
