Should public employee unions be required to obtain annual written consent from each member in order to use a portion of that member's dues for political activity?
Prohibits using public employee union dues for political
contributions without individual employees' prior
consent. Excludes contributions benefitting charities
or employees. Requires unions to maintain and, upon
request, report member political contributions to Fair
Political Practices Commission.
Probably
minor state and local government implementation
costs, potentially offset in part by revenues from fines
and/or fees.
- A YES vote on this measure means:
- Public employee
unions would be required
to get annual, written
consent from government
employee union members
and nonmembers to charge
and use any dues or fees for
political purposes.
- A NO vote on this measure means:
- Public employee
unions could charge and
use dues or fees for political
purposes without annual,
written consent. Fees from a
nonmember of a union
could not be spent on
political purposes if the
nonmember objects.
- Summary of Arguments FOR Proposition 75:
- Proposition 75 protects
public employee union
members from having
political contributions made
from their dues without
their annual permission.
Currently public employee
union members are forced to
contribute their hard earned
money to political candidates
or issues they may oppose.
Yes on Proposition 75 will
make those contributions
clearly voluntary.

- Summary of Arguments AGAINST Proposition 75:
- Prop. 75 is unfair to
teachers, nurses, police,
and firefighters. It makes
their labor unions play
by different rules than
big corporations. It's
unnecessary. The U.S.
Supreme Court says no
public employee can be
forced to join a union and
contribute to politics. It's
sponsored by corporations
who oppose unions.
