For the 11th straight day, working families will converge at the Indiana Statehouse in Indianapolis to protest the General Assembly’s anti-worker agenda.
Tonight’s “Stand Up for Hoosiers” rally will focus on working families and will feature various local entertainers, faith leaders, workers sharing their stories and a candlelight vigil. AFT President Randi Weingarten also will speak to the crowd.
While Indiana House Democrats remain out of state to prevent passage of anti-worker legislation, House Minority Leader Pat Bauer returned yesterday for negotiations. Rather than bargaining or compromising, Republicans refused to deal on bills that would take away the collective bargaining rights of teachers and other public employees.
