Reinstate Prop 75

In 2005 with Proposition 75, Republican Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger tried to put a cap on the easy political contributions that Democratic party operatives were receiving from public sector unions, including teachers. Early polling had suggested that the measure was going to pass, but when the votes were collected, the measure failed by six points, most likely due to last-minute union propagandizing.

Public sector workers collect union dues from their employees by force. Individuals employees have no power to protect where their dues go, and neither can they prevent the local union from taking their dues.

The whole arrangement is corrupt and unjust.

Senator Lieu, instead of protecting the collective bargaining rights of entire employee associations, why not protect the individual employee and permit him to choose whether he joins the union or not, and whether he chooses to offer union dues or not?

I believe that California voters must consider permitting the Golden State to become a "Right to Work" state as well, where the individual work can stand up to union leaders and choose not to join, not to donate, and therefore not to support the liberal cabal of Democratic-Unionist statism.
