Right-to-Work legislation meeting

The Manufacturer & Business Association (MBA) plans to host a special briefing on right-to-work legislation starting at 11 a.m. Thursday, October 6, at the Association’s Conference Center, 2171 West 38th Street. All media are invited to attend.

The event will feature a panel of prominent speakers on the issue of right-to-work. The panel is scheduled to include Representative Daryl Metcalfe (R-Butler); David Taylor, executive director of the Pennsylvania Manufacturers’ Association; Kevin Shivers, state director of the National Federation of Independent Business; Jennifer Stefano, director of Labor and Energy Policy for Americans for Prosperity; and Simon Campbell, president of StopTeacherStrikes. Panel participants will discuss the status and future of right-to-work legislation at both the state and federal levels. Afterward, they will participate in a question-and-answer session.

“Right-to-work has been–and remains–a top priority for our membership throughout northwest and central Pennsylvania,” said Lori Joint, the Association’s director of Government Affairs. “We hope that this briefing will not only bring this issue to the forefront, but make it clear that such legislation is the key to making the Commonwealth a more competitive and business friendly state.”
