Passage; May 7, 2015; Journal Page 1426; 20 Yeas, 11 Nays

YCT Yea. This bill puts in place important reforms to forming and participating in a union in this state. It protects employers, keeps state resources from funding political campaigns, and protects non-union employers from potential intimidation from union representatives during mandatory federal inspections. This bill also prohibits all state, county, and municipal governmental entities from directly collecting union dues and political contributions from employee paychecks. YCT supports additional protections for businesses and ensuring a fair process by those who choose to affiliate or not affiliate with a union. YCT supports ending the collusion between bureaucracies and public employee unions.
