This week state lawmakers introduced the Employee Freedom Constitutional Amendment. This bill would allow voters to decide whether Minnesota should become an employee freedom state.
Employee
freedom laws guarantee
that workers cannot be forced to join a union or pay union dues. There
are 22 other states that have already adopted similar measures and
several others are currently considering this
legislation.
Why
is this necessary? Because workers should have the freedom to decide
for themselves whether they want to join a union. Minnesotans have seen
the recent example of Governor Dayton trying to unionize independent childcare providers. An employee freedom law would ensure that no individual would be forced to join a union against their will.
A report issued last week by the
Center for the American Experiment highlights the benefits of this legislation in terms of jobs and employee compensation.
TAKE ACTION: Contact your state lawmakers and ask them to support the Employee Freedom Amendment bill.

Every year, I have to pay $600 to the teamsters.
What really bothers me is that I'm also forced to pay $2500 to the state of Minnesota in taxes with no say on how it is spent!
