A Tennessee House subcommittee Wednesday advanced a resolution to create a constitutional amendment that would enshrine right-to-work protections in the state constitution.

Senate Joint Resolution 0648, which already has passed the Senate, would elevate current right-to-work protections to the constitution. The amendment would prohibit an employer from hiring or firing an employee based on their decision to join or to not join a union.
