Fort Wayne Mayor Henry vetoes right-to-work ordinance; Derides plan as 'bad governing'

The ordinance states that the city could not make membership in a union or labor organization a requirement of employment. The council is expected to vote on the mayor’s veto Tuesday.

“To my knowledge, no council member ever talked with the police unions about a plan to amend this ordinance; no warning was given,” Henry said. “I truly believe this is bad governing. This ordinance alienates those who put their lives on the line to keep all of us safe.”
