Washington Policy Center's Elizabeth New (Hovde) examines how the WEA, the Washington Federation of State Employees, and relevant locals of SEIU each contributed $1 million to oppose IP26-645, the initiative to repeal Washington's income tax, while also opposing two other statewide measures this November. She argues public employers should give workers clear, neutral notice of their First Amendment right not to join or financially support a public union. https://clarkcountytoday.com/uncategorized/opinion-dues-donts-unions-are-political-and-union-money-is-again-driving-opposition-to-initiatives/ #WashingtonState #UnionDues #BallotInitiatives #WorkerRights #WEA #SEIU #PublicUnions #FirstAmendment #Opinion #ClarkCounty
