Government unionization and the Attorney General
The unionization of Washington’s assistant attorneys general is everything that’s wrong with government unions
Earlier this year, the Washington State Legislature passed SB 5297, which allowed for the unionization of the state’s assistant attorneys general (AAG) who litigate cases for the Attorney General’s Office.
However, the bill’s passage and the subsequent unionization of the state’s nearly 600 AAGs is a case study in what’s wrong with government unions. It’s hard to conclude that SB 5297 was anything other than a purely political move to increase union dues collection.

Effing the ineffable - Washington State elections sometimes have been rigged.
