Protest the passage of HB 267

Call on Governor Cox to VETO this deplorable Union Busting Legislation

Where: Utah State Capitol Rotunda

Date: Friday, February 7, 2025

Time: 3:30 P.M.

Today, HB 267 passed out of the Senate. HB 267 is a bill pushed by out-of-state special interests to weaken Utah workers’ rights.

  1. HB 267 Creates Solutions to Problems That Don’t Exist: This bill wasn’t created in response to issues raised by Utah workers or Utah employers—it’s being pushed by out-of-state special interests with an anti-worker agenda.
  2. Out-of-State Influence Is Driving This Bill, Not Utah Workers: Utah’s public employees didn’t ask for this legislation—it’s being pushed by national special interest groups with no stake in our communities.
  3. The True Cost to Taxpayers Comes from Special Interests, Not Unions: The real financial burden isn’t unions—it’s out-of-state lobbying groups pushing policies that could disrupt workplaces and create instability in public services. Collective bargaining actually saves money by ensuring fair, standardized contracts instead of costly, fragmented negotiations.

Please share this information with your co-workers, friends, family, neighbors. We need to show a strong showing of solidarity and tell the Governor to VETO HB267.

In Solidarity,

Jeff Worthington

President, Utah AFL-CIO

    I have been a member of the IATSE for 22 years the live entertainment industry was hit hard by covid we went down completely for 2 years and are still working on recovering today.
    Out of state influence with special interests are working against workers rights. The right to unionization and collective bargaining is good for all workers, Union or non Union… workers of Utah, Workers of America can thank Unions for many everyday benefits that non Union workers take for granite, such as.
    1. 40 work week
    2. Overtime pay after 40 hours in a week
    3. Child regulation laws keeping child slavery out of America’s Corporations and keeping children in school through the age of 18.
    4. Paid time off
    5. Unions are the single most influential builders of the “MIDDLE CLASS” in America.
    6. Holiday pay
    7. Sick leave pay
    8. Employer contributions to health insurance
    9. Workers unemployment compensation for employees who are part of any corporate reductions of force. When employers reduce their work force number to maximize their profits
    10. Protections from discrimination: from disabilities, sex, religion, age, social standings or class, ethnic groups, race, ect.
    UNIONS MAKE AMERICA GREAT!!
