HB 1346 - State Employees - Collective Bargaining - "The Fair Share Act" - Repeal.
State workers, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity for you to speak out, finally, and let your legislators know just how you, as a state worker, feel about being forced to pay a union whether you are a member or not ... i.e., so-called fair share.
Last year the fair share bill was back-doored and approved and an executive order was signed before state workers were even aware what happened.
A couple of decent legislators are sponsoring this Bill and it is up to us to write to our legislators and show up at any hearing with regard to this. This will most likely be the only opportunity we will have to have this repealed prior to the unions renegotiating an MOU this year that will include fair share fees to non members. The unions stand to make millions out of your paychecks should that occur.
This does not have to be just a state worker endeavor ... we could use all of the help we can get to have these unions banned from taking over state government fully and completely.
When I get the hearing date I will post it here. We need to take back our lives. No one is going to do it for us.

and I may add that this is an election year and for those democratic strongholds (where the "fair share" act support was most active last year), they may be looking at what happened in New Jersey, Virginia and Mass. elections before continuing their support of organized labor. But only if they hear from their constituents, and that is every employee reading this blog!
