AI Summary

This Joint Resolution proposes an amendment to the Tennessee Constitution to establish a "right to work," meaning it would be illegal for anyone, including employers or the state, to deny someone a job based on whether they are a member of, refuse to join, or have left a labor union or employee organization. This proposal follows a process outlined in the Tennessee Constitution, requiring agreement from a supermajority of lawmakers and subsequent approval by voters in a general election, specifically the November 2022 election for governor. The resolution emphasizes that protecting the freedom to join or not join such organizations is a fundamental civil right that has contributed to Tennessee's economic success.
