Union dues contributed to political campaigns
Please send more information--how can we check the veracity of the suit?
Does the federal law apply to all states ? You have wrirren," it is illegal for unions to contribute to political candidates using “dues, fees, or other moneys required as a condition of membership in a labor organization.”
I ran for the office of State Representative in Connecticut in the 80's and the Unions poured financial resources and human resources into my opponent's campaign.
I introduce a bill which would probit this practice and, of course, the bill went nowhere--I was told that it could not be done.
Please advise.
