Best known for his tireless conservative advocacy, Senator Helms was a staunch defender of employees&#8217; Right to Work and a fierce opponent of compulsory unionism.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nOnce dubbed &quot;Public Enemy #1&quot; by North Carolina AFL-CIO top boss Wilbur Hobby, Helms&#8217; impressive legislative record included several notable accomplishments on behalf of the Right to Work movement. In 1978, his timely filibuster single-handedly de-railed Big Labor&#8217;s efforts to pass the infamous Pushbutton Unionism Bill (or so-called &quot;Labor Law Reform&quot;), a piece of legislation designed to impose draconian penalties on any employer resisting compulsory unionization. Helms struck another blow against Big Labor in 1995, successfully opposing Senator Ted Kennedy&#8217;s attempts to pass the Pushbutton Strike Bill.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nIn the 1990s, Helms actively assisted the National Right to Work Committee&#8217;s efforts to safeguard employee freedom through passage of the National Right to Work Act. Not only did Helms <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nrtwc.org\/newsroom\/14.htm\">reintroduce<\/a> the legislation in 2001, he also wrote letters and recorded messages on behalf of the Committee. Through his efforts, Helms helped mobilize hundreds of thousands of citizens against compulsory unionism.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nIn 2001, then Foundation President Reed Larson paid Helms the ultimate tribute: &quot;No member of Congress &#8211; nobody in the whole United States &#8211; has done as much to help [us] advance the Right to Work cause as Jesse Helms.&quot;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div style=\"text-align: center\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.northcarolinahistory.org\/images\/uploaded\/posts\/screen_4433b4a753f1d.jpg\" alt=\"Photo from NorthCarolinaHistory.com\" height=\"335\" width=\"269\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p>\nOn July 4, former Senator Jesse Helms <a href=\"http:\/\/ap.google.com\/article\/ALeqM5gZUL2wcPRkmJWqAtSzZldQm8eSFQD91NGKS00\">passed away<\/a> in Raleigh, North Carolina at the age of 86.
