Unions on the Run! Now it's Arizona!!!

Wisconsin, Indiana, Arizona. Come on remaining states, who's next??? Time to put collective feet on the gas.... Great work AZ! An End to Public Employee Union Power in Arizona February 3, 2012 at 12:48 pm The Daily Caller reports on a serious move to end public employee union power in Arizona: On Wednesday the Arizona Senate Government Reform Committee discussed a package of bills that are intended to curb public employee union corruption. In addition to ending collective bargaining for public employee unions, the bills go even farther in limiting union power. SB 1485 would prohibit government bodies from collectively bargaining with public employee unions. SB 1487 would end the practice of automatic payroll deductions for union dues. SB 1486 would ban the practice of compensating public employees for union work. These are all sensible moves and go quite a bit farther than what we saw in Wisconsin. Arizona should be the first of many states to end the power of public employee unions.
