What’s Disgusting? Union Busting!
The shared fate of thousands of middle class families continues to be uncertain after the House Appropriations Committee voted in favor of the Worker Gag Bill (HB 1021), sponsored by Representative Chris Dorworth (R-Heathrow). This means the full House could vote on this anti-democratic legislation as soon as THURSDAY of this week!
This legislation would deny access to dues deductions from public employees’ paychecks just because they choose to be a member of a union. In addition, HB 1021 takes away the right to participate collectively in political activities by outlawing deductions for political funds. If it becomes law, HB 1021 will restrict the political rights of thousands of Florida’s families.
This bill would not apply to the other organizations that the State of Florida offers payroll deductions, only firefighters, police, teachers, nurses and other employees who work for the State, cities, and municipalities.
To see a full list of the 364 organizations that the State of Florida offers payroll deductions for click here.
We need everyone to call their local representatives and tell them to vote against this anti-middle class, anti-democratic legislation. Tell them: "Stop the attacks on my rights. It is my choice to join my union and I do not want politicians in Tallahassee taking away my rights."
YOU MAY ALSO BE AUTOMATICALLY CONNECTED TO YOUR REPRESENTATIVE BY DIALING
You can also find the contact information for the Florida House by clicking here and then clicking on "Find Your Representative" (the upper left tab) to pull down the search screen. You will need to know your address, city and zip code in order to find the correct Representative for your area.
Again give your representative a call and tell them: "Stop the attacks on my rights. It is my choice to join my union and I do not want politicians in Tallahassee taking away my rights."
