Union workers have taken the right-to-work fight to Indiana House Speaker ... - Indianapolis Star

Union workers have taken the right-to-work fight to Indiana House Speaker Brian Bosma’s doorstep.

Laborers' International Union of North America 's Munster Local 41 pulled up in a couple of buses this morning to Bosma’s Northwestside home.

Kevin Roach, the Munster local’s business manager, said that about 110 members planned to stand outside the house until mid afternoon today to peaceably demonstrate.

"Mr. Bosma and the Republican party have made it their intention to his us at our dinner table, so that's where we want to hit him."

Bosma, though, has a full schedule at the Indiana House, where members plan to vote on amendments to the right-to-work bill that has unions in an uproar. The final House vote could come later this week.
