Despite being a Right to Work state, Oklahoma still acts as a bagman for government labor unions, the state’s labor commissioner says and he is demanding reform.
Oklahoma’s labor commissioner wants to free the state from collecting public union and employee association dues.
Labor Commissioner Mark Costello said the practice makes Oklahoma the “bagman” for public unions to fund potentially budget-sucking political agendas, adding the practice simply makes it easier for unions to bleed taxpayers for ever-increasing costs.
Costello said unions should collect their own dues.
New co-sponsors added to the growing list of members supporting the National Right To Work Act: Rep. Kevin Hern (OK 01) and Rep. Dan Crenshaw (TX 02). That makes 76 co-sponsors in the U.S. House of Representatives and 20 co-sponsors in the U.S. Senate. Are your Members Of Congress on this list?

Union officials chalked up a staggering 3,633,290 hours of taxpayer-funded union time in 2016, at a cost to taxpayers of over $177 million in payroll costs alone for just that one year. This includes, for example, over $700,000 spent on travel expenses for union bosses in the Social Security Administration.
