Taxpayers Across RI Organize Against Binding Arbitration…
Marcia Reeback: Can You Hear Us Now?

Reform organizations and concerned citizens will hold a press conference at the State House at 4 PM on Wednesday, October 28th to rebut misleading statements made by leaders of public employee unions at last week’s House Labor Committee hearings on binding arbitration in teachers’ contracts.

Good government groups, taxpayers associations, and concerned citizens from across the state are holding a press conference on Wednesday, October 28th at 4 PM, at the Smith Street Entrance of the State House to voice their opposition to a bill to submit teachers’ contract disputes to binding arbitration currently being considered by the General Assembly.

Representatives from Operation Clean Government, the Rhode Island Statewide Coalition, the Rhode Island Tea Party, and the East Providence Taxpayers Association will speak against the binding arbitration bill. The Ocean State Policy Research Institute will provide data that supports arguments against binding arbitration. The speakers will issue rebuttals of misleading statements made by leaders of Rhode Island public employee unions to our elected representatives at the House Labor Committee hearing on binding arbitration for teachers’ contracts on Wednesday, October 21st.

By the time we are done, Senators and Representatives will not be able to plead ignorance of the will of the people. They will know that we understand that binding arbitration is unconstitutional, undermines democracy, will drive up already unaffordable school contract costs, will force illegal deficit spending, will lead to the financial collapse of many Rhode Island cities and towns, and will impose grave hardships on working families and senior citizens living on fixed incomes all across the state.
