Cowboy Campaigning

Patriotism, "Freedom," and Right-to-Work in Oklahoma

The 2001 right-to-work referendum in Oklahoma provided unique challenges for the labor movement. This article examines the Oklahoma campaign in the context of right-to-work and other labor referendums and discusses the consequences of particular strategies used by the labor and business campaigns. The authors argue that despite a strong member mobilization campaign, the impact of September 11 and the influence of the print media may have been determining factors in the campaign.

Key Words: political campaigns • union security • right-to-work
