Unions won't "rule" if Prop 75 passes, but that's exactly the point. Why should workers' voices be silenced, when they are already totally overwhelmed by the interests of groups like the national association of manufacturers, everyone and their mothers' chambers of commerce, Farm Bureaus, polluters, government management. Only unions should not be able to participate in the political dialogue? If no one can spend political money, that's one thing. Selectively silencing unions while the corporate cacophony reigns, that's unjust.
Government employee unions are crushing this state, financially, legally, and economically. IMHO, with the protections Civil Service provides, government unions should be illegal. Further, unions should not be exempt from anti-trust law. Protection from competiton is one of the worst things ever done to the American craft worker. It allowed the union to assert that all workers of a particular grade possessed identical skills, rather than make the most of each employee's particular talents and drive.

Nobody is silencing anybody with Prop 75. Workers voices are being silenced when their money is being taken by union management without their consent. Not only that, but the continued practice of taking political funds without consent is already illegal under Federal law.
