John Kitzhaber tells organized labor he'll fight Oregon measure aimed at public employee unions | OregonLive.com:

""A right-to-work state means you have a right to work for less without a voice in the workplace," Kitzhaber told the labor crowd.  "A right-to-work state means you have a right to be exploited and ripped off and work at unsafe jobs and low wages and no benefits."

The governor charged that anti-union forces are targeting Oregon "because this is where labor is strongest."  He cited organized labor's role in passing the nation's second highest minimum wage law and noted that Oregon's largest union -- Service Employees International Union -- has been able to reverse the general trend in declining union membership by organizing home health care workers."
