Proposal to Amend Utah Constitution - Right to Work

HJR 8 proposes amending the Utah Constitution to prohibit employers, unions, and government entities from denying employment based on an individual's union membership, affiliation, or refusal to join a union. This would directly affect employers (including state agencies), workers who choose not to join unions, and labor organizations. The bill requires voter approval at the next general election, with the amendment taking effect on January 1, 2027, if approved. If enacted, it would change Utah's constitutional protections regarding employment decisions related to union activity.
