58 Indiana’s new right-to-work statute applies only to private sector workers—not to any state or local government workers, although some public sector employees already had right-to-work protection. For example, collective bargaining was already prohibited for most state employees by a law enacted in 2011. That law also contained specific right-to-work protection, even though state workers who don’t have forced union representation can’t have forced dues. But that law specifically does not cover state police, state educational institutions, and local government workers. Indiana has had right-to-work protections for teachers on the books for many years—but not for other public school employees or for other local government employees. So this means that all government workers in Indiana already had right-to-work protections except: state police, state educational institution employees, and (nonteacher) local government employees such as police, firefighters, school employees, and others, who still do not have such protections.
