Oh, THAT Christine Bronstein.
And how’s that $10+/hour minimum wage workin out for SF?
Sounds like a good idea to me. Any chance it could pass in CA?
They say it like it’s a bad thing.
Anything that protects people that want to work from unions is a good thing.
Unions at one time a good thing are now basically a ponzi scheme that gets non worker a wage from the earnings of a person that actually did the work.
Oklahoma adopted right-to-work laws and has seen one-third fewer corporations coming into the state while wages of nonunion workers have fallen 4.3 percent.
I'm sure this is either a flat lie or an example of how to lie with statistics.
Most people don’t realize that private sector unions are almost dead. The percent of workers in the private sector that are unionized is: 7 percent. Said another way 93% of us are non-union.
What, no BARF ALERT?
Ten years later, the proof is in the pudding. Productivity is up, manufacturing GDP has grown and “multiplier effects” are cascading.
Scott Moody and Wendy Warcholik report, in an analysis published by the Oklahoma Council of Public Affairs (OCPA), “Manufacturing output and productivity have outpaced the competition, and people from non-RTW states are voting with their feet by moving to Oklahoma in increasing numbers.” In a last couple of quarters, personal income growth in Oklahoma has been in the top five, nationwide.
In the end, everything unfolded more or less as Gaylord and the analysts at OCPA had said it would.The state has been changed forever, moving from the back of the pack to one of the top five U.S. states for economic growth, rising per capita personal income and one of the nation’s lowest unemployment rates.

California is already America’s first right-to-loaf state - there is no going back from that, anyway. :)
If CA went RTW tomorrow (including eliminating CB for state employees) you would see a 10 percent increase in the state’s economy by the end of the year.
That's not the track record. Look at the lowest-unemployment states on a map. You'll find there's a close correlation to right-to-work status. Forcible union membership, and high minimum wages, do not eliminate poverty. They reduce employment rates and INcrease poverty.
That’ll be the day.
bflr
Never fails.

It is absolutely CRITICAL that his law passed.
Arnold backed one his first year and it was crushed.
We need this law BADLY. Everybody who can contribute to the cost of fighting for the passage of this bill should do so. This is the front line in the almost-lost battle for california.
All union dues are payroll deducted from public employess paychecks. Democrat politicians get EXCLUSIVE funding from public employees with payroll deduction from the Teachers Union, the Nurses Union, SEIU, and every other California union.
The FLOOD of money to Democrat politicians will stop if they cant just hijack the money for politics, but insteat have to beg annual permission from tight-wad public employees. Believe me, this law would destroy political funding of California Democrats.
The unions will amass a warchest to defeat this law and I don’t see how it can pass without a countering warchest.
I hope everybody will donate to this campaign because this is the single most important law that can be passed in California to stop the growing onslaught of Democrat power.
We can really starve the Democrats of election campaign funding if they have to beg union employees for money instead of the automatic flood they get now.
I am praying this passes. This is very badly needed. Very badly.
I doubt it will pass. But it’s exactly what Cali and every state needs.
