Sussex County Council has officially set the date for a public hearing on the proposed ordinance for right-to-work, which is gaining traction fast as one town in the county has already instituted their own form of the proposal.
On Tuesday, Seaford's City Council passed their own ordinance for right-to-work, which prohibits employers within the municipality from mandating employees join a union or be required to pay dues.
Sussex County Councilman Rob Arlett, who is proposing the right-to-work ordinance countywide, praised the decision made by Seaford which he said was right for the people and will be incredibly encouraging for economic development.
"The decision was made by that council because it was right for the people of Seaford. So, I want to congratulate the Mayor and the Council for not only their leadership, but their courage. They had similar concerns as has been expressed by some members on the County Council, but they didn't live in the world of fear, they lived in the world of faith and made the decision based on what was right for their people," said Councilman Arlett.
"I believe that three members of the Sussex County Council to include: Councilmen Vincent, Burton and Cole, are all originally, their roots are all from Seaford. Hopefully, they will take heed and learn from the example that was set forth their and bring forth the opportunity beyond Seaford into all of Sussex County because that is what the residents of this county desire."Nearly all state lawmakers in Sussex County are in support of the right-to-work ordinance for the county, read more.
The ordinance, introduced on Oct. 31, would make the county the first community from as far as Maine to Virginia to institute such a provision, if passed.
The public hearing for the proposed right-to-work county ordinance will take place Tuesday, January 2, 2018 in council chambers in Georgetown.
