Let’s hope so. They are one of the big reasons the state is in the trouble it is. YES ON 32!

According to a major poll, only 36 percent of voters are in favor of Prop 32.
Unfortunately, the unions will not lose this battle. There are still an enormous number of liberals and parasites in this state that will vote for the marxists, and the way the numbers look now, along with the insignificance of any true opposition party to the left, this is more or less now a permanent left-majority state.
We'll see if it ever changes, but probably not in my lifetime.

Labor union members claim Proposition 32, which would limit how unions raise money for California political campaigns, would rob them of their political power. What's the downside?

"Jack Pitney, a political science professor at Claremont McKenna College, said the provision weakens the ability of unions to participate in elections. They could still try to get voluntary donations from members, but without that steady stream of income via the payroll deductions, it would be a lot harder for them, he said."
Boohoo...cry me a river that you wouldn't get to use union dues to elect your liberal politician of choice.
I already sent in my absentee ballot and voted not only yes, but hell yes.

To: BenLurkin
Unions have destroyed this state economy, they own the legislators that cast the votes that paid out all the super benefits and now their fried chickens are comin’ home to rooost and they’re unhappy. waaaaaaa...
Time to tell hem and Moonbeam to STFU and embrace sanity.
To: BenLurkin
The unions have been running commercials that flat
lie about this proposition for two months now.
There are apparently no standards for political ads these days.

CA is owned by public sector union thugs. We need to remove the host for this parasite which is their members cash.

Thanks BenLurkin.
Former California Sen. Gloria Romero, a Prop 32 supporter, said the initiative would actually give power back to the workers. "It empowers the rank-and-file union member or the union worker at a corporation to say, 'You can't just reach into my paycheck and take my money anymore,'" she said.

Unions Claim Prop 32 Would Rob Them Of Political Power
Dear Union Thugs:
This is a feature, not a bug. Citizens and taxpayers, the People of California, NOT UNIONS, are supposed to have the power. California does not yet have a Mussolini style "corporate constitution", where interest groups are the locus of power.

It may rob them of their power now, but what are we going to do about what they’ve done to the pension system to rob the citizens of their tax money?
What also are we going to do to reverse the absolute larceny they committed against California’s taxpayers by the corrupting influence they’ve had on politicians in getting laws passed that make public employees impossible to terminate?
As an education law attorney in California, I can tell you from my personal experience that California Teachers Association, and other public unions like them, have driven California to the brink of bankruptcy.
So my message to the unions, sit down and shut up!
