“If unions have to spend money for such votes, they will have less to spend to support Democrats.”
There has to be a better rationale for an annual vote — something to do with protection of the workers, or the public interest. A strictly punitive measure, that’s designed only to bleed funds from the unions, cannot be justified. Such things have a way of circling around, and biting us in the rear.
If a Governor is elected for 4 years, couldn’t a union be certified for 2 years — or longer, if there is a longer-term union contract in place?
People working in in these jobs are compelled to join the union. It seems fair that there should be a regular vote as to whether the union still represents the interests of those workers. Maybe every two or three years would be OK but previously the unions had a permanent control of these jobs.
