Why is this important?
House Bill 1507 is what ALEC and the Koch brothers call a “Paycheck Protection” bill.
As stated by the Pennsylvania AFL-CIO,
"The facts are clear, even though you won’t hear them in the commercials that the Koch brothers are financing. Automatic payroll deduction of dues is not mandated by any law, rather it is bargained for during contract negotiations. This deduction does not cost taxpayers money. Unions already agreed to reimburse the state for costs associated with deductions of PAC funds, but according to the [Commonwealth] of Pennsylvania, there is no measurable cost to be reimbursed."
This bill does not address any real and substantive issue. Therefore, it is nothing more than political theater and a thinly veiled attack on Pennsylvania's workers.
