Prop. 32: A Fight We Can't Afford to Lose
In 2012, firefighters and other workers are under attack … and everything is at risk!
This November, the big-money special interests will try to steal our voice so they can steal everything else. Their weapon: Proposition 32 -- the Special Exemptions Act.
Stop The Special Exemptions Act!
What it does
- Silences your voice. Bans voluntary dues deductions to keep firefighters from speaking out.
- Protects big money. Corporations don’t charge dues: They can still spend … and spend.
- Targets local politics. Redefines you as a “contractor”, so you can’t speak out in any election.
What’s at risk?
- Public safety. Firefighters fight for staffing, stations and safety. Lose your voice and the public loses.
- Negotiated contracts. Bargaining rights are under attack. Lose your voice, and you might not be able to negotiate anything.
- Presumption laws. Cities hate presumption laws. Lose your voice, and these laws are first on the hit list.
- Professional firefighting. Privateers want to bring low-wage, sub-standard firefighters here. Your job could be at risk.
