Thank you!

Together, for the time being, we have stopped SB 419 and protected existing workers in the oil and gas industry from being displaced. Senate Bill 419 will not be heard in the Assembly Natural Resources Committee today – a huge victory for merit shop contractors and their workers.
 
Thank you for calling into committees, sharing your personal stories, emailing legislative members, posting on social media, and all of your other efforts. Your actions made a difference.
