The dark money-funded machine behind the “opt-out” scheme aimed at our unions is at it again. UHP members and others in affiliated local unions are receiving the following mailer and “check” at their homes from the Freedom Foundation (click the graphic to see the full piece):
They do not care about you at all. They care about weakening the labor movement, making it easier for employers to take advantage of their workforce. Our AFT Connecticut president is not in Washington; do not fall for their tricks.
Schemes like this tell you all you need to know about the power of a strong labor movement. Why else would the bosses go to such lengths to try to sabotage us? What do you think is in it for them?
Nonsense like this is one reason we’re advocating at the state Capitol to protect public employees’ personal information.
Expect more mailers, as well as email, social media advertising -- and possibly even home visits -- in the coming days and weeks.
Any further questions, call me. Otherwise, toss that in the trash, where it belongs
