Right to Work Wins Big in the Beehive State
Utah Right to Work victory: New law ends union monopoly bargaining and protects public servants' freedom to choose their own representation.
Memo Suggests Chiefs Not Only Aware, But Directed Political Envelope Stuffing
According to the Salt Lake [Utah] Tribune:
Dispatch Supervisor Roxann Cheever confirmed Thursday that she circulated an e-mail stating that the city’s public-safety bosses – not just an “overzealous employee,” as a police spokesman previously said – urged dispatchers to fill 50,000 envelopes with pro-bond fliers from the police union.
State law bars city employees from electioneering on the taxpayers’ dime.
Though the city’s “. . . top cop has denied any prior knowledge of dispatchers illegally stuffing envelopes with fliers advocating a $192 million public-safety bond,” . . . “an internal memo suggests the city’s police and fire chiefs not only knew, but actually directed the campaign.”
If true, this is yet one more example of anti-taxpayer collusion between public-safety employers and public-safety union bosses.
