By The PA. AFL-CIO

– The enemies of labor are at it again, and to defeat these latest attacks requires your immediate action!

Scott Wagner has introduced SB500, which would amend the PA Constitution to block the collection of union dues, and Senator Eichelberger has introduced SB501, another “Paycheck Protection” bill that seeks to silence workers. In the co-sponsorship memo he circulated, Eichelberger claimed that his bill would only block the deduction of political money, but his actual legislation would block deductions of all union dues, including what’s known as the fair agency shop fee.

These bills are devoid of any benefit for the State budget, for taxpayers, or for workers. The lies that have been used to promote these attacks on workers must not distract from the reality; that these bills are nothing but a naked, opportunistic power-grab by opponents of union rights.
