5.3: Free Speech
Prohibit the use for political purposes of funds automatically deducted from worker paychecks Other Information:
As matters currently stand, unions can take money directly from the paychecks of American workers and spend it on politicking—each
election cycle, unions spend hundreds of millions of dollars. In non-Right-to-Work states, employees have little choice but
to watch their money go toward such expenditures, even if they do not support the union and its political agenda. The result
is the creation of an enormously powerful interest group whose influence is disproportionate to its actual support and whose
priorities are fundamentally misaligned with those of businesses and workers—and thus with the needs of the economy.
