LD66 - Union-Busting

(2017)

An Act To Prohibit Public Employers from Acting as Collection Agents for Labor Unions

Sponsored by Sponsored by Representative Lawrence Lockman (R – Amherst)

What is the bill?

Workers use payroll deductions for a variety of purposes – charitable donations, bill and loan payments and paying dues to their union. This process for paying union dues is efficient, used routinely and is subject to bargaining. LD 66 would have forbid union members from paying dues in a 21st century manner – through payroll deduction. This bill was another attempt to weaken unions by making it more difficult to operate.
