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 businesses or government entities, to deny someone a job based on whether they are part of a labor union or employee organization, or if they choose not to join one. This proposal follows a previous agreement by the legislature and public notification, and if approved by a two-thirds majority in both houses, it will be put to a vote of the people in the next general election where a governor is chosen, specifically the November 2022 election.
