It’s the unions’ business
Re “Prop. 75 Could Weaken Clout of Unions,” Aug. 14
In a special election full of divisive propositions, Proposition 75 may be the most divisive of all. I can’t quite get my head around why wealthy Republican Joe Schmo, who doesn’t even know a union laborer, much less a nonunion Democrat like me, has any business deciding how labor unions spend their dues.
It seems to me that this issue should be decided by union members and not the general voting public, especially when millions of special interest dollars are being poured into slick advertising campaigns to influence the outcome.
