on november 21, 2011, brian bosma announced that his number one priority during the 2012 legislative session would focus on making indiana the 23rd right to work state. hb 1001 (2012), legislation co-authored by bosma to make indiana a right to work state, passed from the indiana house the last week of january in 2012. the start of the 2012 session was delayed because the democratic caucus boycotted the first few weeks of session by failing to show up to work. members of the house republicans attempted to address right to work during the 2011 session; however the democrats denied the house a quorum by walking out to illinois for five weeks.
