Take Action

Take Action! Stop Paycheck Protection Now!

For the past several years, union members have been fighting hard against anti-union legislation that seeks to silence public workers in Pennsylvania. The so-called ‘Paycheck Protection’ bill follows the same strategy that Governor Walker used against teachers, nurses, and first responders in Wisconsin, and which ultimately led to Wisconsin become a Right to Work state.
​
Rep. Daryl Metcalfe has always been of the most anti-worker lawmakers in Pennsylvania, and a prime sponsor of the corporate Right to Work agenda. It should be no surprise that he is the one who has called the Paycheck Protection bills up for vote.

It is critical that these bills do not make it to the Governor’s desk. Right now, our best shot is to stop this legislation in the State House, but your lawmakers need to hear from you NOW!
​
E-mail your State Representatives using the link TODAY! Tell them to vote NO on Paycheck Protection!

In spite of the rhetoric from the right win g politicians and conservative business groups – payroll deduction are not forced; they are negotiated between the employer and the union and must be approved by both sides. Unions are being singled out for political purposes, as evidence by the fact that the legislation being proposed would not prevent public employees from choosing to have other payroll deduction for items such as insurance, charitable giving, etc. – even though many of these groups also lobby the State Government.

Help stop this transparent attack on workers once and for all, tell your State Representative to vote NO on Paycheck Protection now!
