More info on 32.
Public employee unions take a percentage of their members dues and send for political lobbying and campaign donations.
Their is an obscure federal law that members can withhold that % and donate to non-profits etc. It’s called in-kind contributions.
However, neither the unions nor the state tell the employees they can withhold that portion of their dues and pay in-kind.
a few years ago, “we” voted to not require the unions to tell the members about this., after the unions did a lot of misleading ads.
My wife withheld her political contribution because the union gave money to politicians who support abortion. It took the union 2 weeks to “find” the form and three officers tried to talk her out of it.
32 will require information and more employees will opt out if they don’t ;ike where the union spends their money.
I support prohibiting unions and contractors from donating to those who they negotiate their contracts with, but don’t know how to get it passed. The current system is merely a different form of bribery and the tax payers suffer.
Thanks for giving me the info about Prop 32. I had seen ads for it(Both for and against) but wasn’t sure what it was all about..now that I know I will definitely vote YES on Prop 32. I hate unions, they are destroying this state bit by bit so anything that unions oppose I am for
