The fight in Indiana over a proposed right-to-work bill is continuing even as the Super Bowl draws closer. Proponents of the bill say that their opponents are using the Super Bowl as a tactic, but that it will backfire. Those who oppose the bill say that the attempt to pass it quickly was precisely so it would be settled by the Super Bowl, and that they want a the measure on a ballot for the voters to decide. Indiana would be the first state in a decade to pass a right-to-work law, and the first in the Mid-West, a traditionally unionized region.
