Utah governor signs collective bargaining ban for teachers, firefighters and police unions
Utah’s Republican governor has signed a collective bargaining ban that experts are calling one of the most restrictive labor laws in the country, despite overwhelming opposition from union members.
You're viewing a single thread.
He included police unions? He's fucked. Republican voters don't give a crap about teachers or firefighters, but he messed with the cops that they vehemently pretend to support.
They originally tried to exempt police unions but were told that would be too blatantly illegal and the whole thing would be struck down, so they did this instead.
My money is the police unions will just ignore this; or even more on brand, they'll invent some new with that just means collective bargaining, but only for police.
that would be too blatantly illegal
Unlike 90% of the other shit they're doing...
Whoa, is that speculation or in the article somewhere?
Here's the original text of the bill, you can see the original text stricken out:

This was from the bill they introduced last year to do the same thing.
God damn! This is insane 😮💨
I think the Presudwbtsxrejease of rioters who attacked police officers on Capitol Hill made it pretty clear to cops that the GOP was never actually on their side.
