This measure was not put on an election ballot |
The North Carolina "Right to Work" Amendment was not on the November 4, 2014 ballot in North Carolina as a legislatively referred constitutional amendment. The measure would have deemed any contracts between public entities and labor unions as “illegal.”[1]
The proposed amendment was sponsored in the North Carolina Legislature as House Bill 53.[2] HB 53, upon legislative approval, would have put both this amendment and the Secret Ballot Amendment on the ballot.
