The Tennessee Senate Commerce and Labor Committee on Tuesday easily approved a resolution to add Tennessee’s “right to work” law to the state constitution, the Times Free Press reports. The 73-year-old law bars employers from denying employment to anyone based on whether they belong or don’t belong to a labor union. Sen. Brian Kelsey, R-Germantown, sponsor of the resolution, said the move is necessary to make it harder for future legislators to repeal the law.
