Description: Pamphlet titled "Mrs. Ohio Homemaker: Don't let them shrink your shopping bag!" It was distributed by United Organized Labor of Ohio during the 1958 campaign to defeat the proposed Right-to-Work amendment to the Ohio Constitution. The pamphlet was targeted to women who were responsible for managing their family budgets. The amendment would have forbidden "labor contracts which establish union membership as a condition for continuing employment (called 'right to work')." It was defeated by nearly a million votes in November of 1958. View on Ohio Memory.
