Simpson County is now the second county in the nation to pass a local right-to-work law.
The decision was made official this morning after the second reading of an ordinance in Simpson County fiscal court. A handful of speakers made the case against the ordinance but county leaders still approved the measure unanimously.
Warren County passed a right-to-work law on December 19th.
Right-to-work supporters say it gives workers the choice whether to join a union and pay dues, and it will help bring more business to the area. Opponents claim it's a union buster and drives down employee wages.
Fulton County will have the final reading of its ordinance Tuesday evening.
