Abstract
In November 2012, Californians voted 56.1% to 43.9% to reject the nation’s most sweeping effort to date to undermine labour’s political voice. The pro- and anti-Proposition 32 camps spent over $135 million on a campaign that was organized labour’s top priority in California, and one of its highest priorities nationwide. This article examines five major issues concerning paycheck protection legislation. First, it analyses the political agenda of promoters of paycheck legislation. Second, it examines union transparency and the amount of money that unions spend on politics. Third, it examines whether workers support their unions’ political agenda and the legal rights afforded to dissenting employees. Fourth, it discusses whether unions could raise money for political activities through means other than payroll deduction. And finally, it examines the effectiveness of paycheck legislation in the states that currently have it.
