Once again the Republicans on the House Commerce, Labor, and Economic Development Committee are seeking to limit the voices of working Kansans with HB 2023 (the Senate Republicans have also introduced SB 31, which is a duplicate for this bill).
Tomorrow (January 23rd) at 1:30 p.m. CST the committee will hold hearings on a bill (HB 2023) that would restrict the fundamental constitutional rights of public employees from engaging in political speech. Likewise important, the bill would prohibit voluntary automatic deductions for the purpose of engaging in a free democracy.
Much like our friends in Wisconsin, Ohio and Indiana, we are facing the same basic strategy from our opposition
STEP 1 - SILENCE THE OPPOSITION
STEP 2 - TAKE AWAY YOUR RIGHT TO BARGAIN
STEP 3 - CUT YOUR WAGES AND BENEFITS
STEP 4 - FIND SOMEONE WHO WILL DO YOUR JOB FOR LESS THAN YOU WILL
This legislation is will be heard tomorrow in committee! If you're a Kansan, act now and contact your state representative. Tell them to get off your back and out of your paycheck!
