Tell Gov. Dalrymple: Don’t Hurt Locked Out Workers
Workers who are locked out through no fault of their own should not be denied unemployment benefits. Please veto HB 1112 and stand up for North Dakota working families.
Why is this important?
After passing pay raises for themselves, right-wing legislators in Bismarck approved a bill to deny unemployment benefits to locked out workers.
If signed into law by Gov. Jack Dalrymple, it will give greedy corporate CEOs even more incentive to lock out workers to drive down wages and benefits for all of us.
While we don't think legislators are currently overpaid, it does speak to their priorities when they are giving themselves a pay raise while taking rights away from working people.
Tell Gov. Dalrymple to stand up for North Dakota working families and veto HB 1112.
