BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (WBKO) -- Warren County is the first county in the Commonwealth and the nation to become a right to work county.

Warren County wasn't going to wait for a state or federal law, they took measures into their own hands.

Fiscal Court approved a right to work ordinance on the first reading Thursday morning with a vote of 5-1, democrat Tommy Hunt was the lone magistrate against it.

In an issue that usually has democrats lined up against it, democrat Dan Rudloff voted in favor of it.

They are starting at local level. Watch out for county and city laws and or dances to be changed. Especially ordinances where it is easy to change quietly.

Let all uaw locals know what is going on. Thus is going to happen very quickly and very quietly throughout the entire country.

health insurance, pension, etc, etc. It was nice while it lasted, but working people either vote against themselves or don't vote at all. We get the government corporations have given us, which is "Shut up, you're lucky to have a job. Worker's rights is a stupid librul idea and we don't want any part of it, like eating or having a roof over your head."
