What happens when employees are empowered against the crushing unions?
After Colorado in 2001 required public employees unions to have annual votes reauthorizing collection of dues, membership in the Colorado Association of Public Employees declined 70 percent.
In 2005, Indiana stopped collecting dues from unionized public employees; in 2011, there are 90 percent fewer dues-paying members.
In Utah, the end of automatic dues deductions for political activities in 2001 caused teachers’ payments to fall 90 percent.
After a similar law passed in 1992 in Washington state, the percentage of teachers making such contributions declined from 82 to 11
Thanks for putting that data together. I had heard memberships were down but didn’t have the numbers.
Much appreciated.
