Florida House approves bill banning automatic deduction for union dues

TALLAHASSEE -- The Florida House delivered a major blow to public employee unions Friday, approving a bill that would ban automatic dues deduction from a government paycheck and require members to sign off on the use of their dues for political purposes.

Democrats and Republicans fought over the legislation for just under two hours. Democrats and labor unions have accused conservatives of "union-busting" and said the bill was more about political payback than public policy. Unions have typically been big backers of Democratic candidates.

Good.  This practice is wrong for exactly the same reason as the Health Care Destruction Act's mandate is wrong.

And Flori-duh is a right to work state anyway, so why the hell should the unions give a damn?

Oh yeah--it's not about the workers...it's about the power.
