Usual Republican Suspects Stop Anti-Corruption Bill — On Dec. 12, the usual Republican suspects in Chester and Delaware counties voted against a bill that would have banned political contributions from automatically being deducted from the paychecks of public employees.
There is no morally justifiable reason for a nay vote. You doubt this? Name one. Give us one reason why money promised to a person for his labor should be taken without his consent and given to back a cause with which he may not agree.
SB 166 was an extremely mild bill. It only applied to public employees and allowed for deductions for union matters including salaries.
And it still couldn’t pass.
The usual Republican suspects are, from Delco, Steve Barrar (R-160), Nick Miccarelli (R-162), Jamie Santora, (R-163), Alex Charlton (R-165), and Chris Quinn (R-168), and. from Chesco, Harry Lewis (R-74) Becky Corbin (R-155) and Duane Milne (R-167).
The Usual Republican Suspects sounds like a great movie. Maybe we can get Bryan Singer to direct it. Who would Kevin Spacey play? Maybe Val DiGiorgio. We can call him Keyser So So.
By the way, if you care about the labor movement and if you care about workers — which union bosses obviously do not — crusade to end automatic deductions for union fees for everyone.
Automatic paycheck deductions hurts labor . Why do the massive amount of money obtained from these involuntary deductions go to causes and candidates such as lobbying for unfair trade pacts and stopping pipelines, which are obviously against the interests of labor?
Hmmm?
Without this guaranteed income the union leaders would actually have to heed the will of those they claim to represent.
The most successful lobbying group in America is the NRA. Suppose if its officials got paid no matter what it did? You think they’d work as hard?
They’d work about as hard as the union bosses do for their constituents, and private access to firearms would have long ended.
