HARRISBURG – State Reps. Chris Rabb of Philadelphia County and Dan Miller of Allegheny County are drafting a bill prohibiting the use of public money to bust unions. Modeled after similar legislation in New Mexico, the measure would amend the Public Employee Relations Act to prohibit public and state-related employers from spending taxpayer dollars for union avoidance or union busting activities. The lawmakers say unions have been a keystone in the fight for improved workplace safety, increased wages, employer-provided healthcare, and retirement benefits. We should ensure that union votes are made free from intimidation by employers seeking to infringe upon that right using taxpayer dollars.
