From Ballotpedia

(Redirected from Maine Tabb Bill (1947))

The Maine Tabb Bill Initiative was on the September 13, 1948 ballot in Maine, where it was defeated.

In favor : 13,676
Opposed: 126,285

It was described on the ballot as "An Act Protecting the Right of Members and Non-Members of Labor Organizations to the Opportunity to Work."

The Tabb Bill was on the same 1948 ballot as the Barlow Bill, a competing measure which was also defeated. The Barlow and Tabb initiatives were the seventh and eighth initiatives to appear on the Maine ballot subsequent to the time that I&R was approved as a process in Maine in 1908.
