Whereas:
Police and firefighters are to "Serve and Protect" the citizens of their
community and, therefore, should NOT be controlled by Big Labor; and
Whereas:
Union boss control of police and firefighters will tend to drive out the best men and women who refuse to
knuckle under to union militants' demands for illegal strikes, featherbedding, and forced dues; and
Whereas:
The Police and Firefighter Monopoly Bargaining Bill could force our nation's police and firefighters under union boss control,
and is just the first step toward forcing all state and local public employees under Big Labor's thumb; and
Whereas:
Passage of this bill would override existing state and local laws and lead to skyrocketing budgets and higher taxes;
Therefore:
In the interests of freedom and our country's economy, I urge you to cast your vote against
the Police and Firefighter Monopoly Bargaining Bill -- or any other bill designed to expand Big
Labor's power over American workers during the
"lame duck" session of Congress.
