What's New at IAFF 2180
Paycheck Deception

Updated On: Jan 25, 2012 (19:52:00)

In November, the voters of California will vote on a bill that could have devastating political effects to our Union and to every union in the State of California.  Called the California "Paycheck Protection" Initiatve, if passed, the state statute would make it more difficult for all unions to operate by hampering dues collections and handcuffing the way we spend money on political action.  Many fear that this could lead to the collapse of unions in California.

What can members of this Local do?  CPF has already passed a special resolution to raise money to pay for a campaign to fight this initiative, but more has to be done.  Each member has to become educated on the issue.  Attached to this article are information sheets you can use to educate yourselves about the initiative.  Read them and pass the info onto your friends and family.  Encourage them to vote "NO" on this initiative.
