Contact your lawmakers about HB 1888
HB 1888 is the latest in a series of union-backed bills seeking to undermine the Freedom Foundation’s work to help inform public employees of their First Amendment right to stop paying union dues.
The bill would add new exemptions to the Washington Public Records Act that would make it more difficult for the Freedom Foundation to obtain the lists of public employees from government agencies needed to conduct its outreach.
While unions claim the bill is about protecting employees’ privacy, unions would still be able to collect detailed personal information about employees, including even their Social Security numbers. The reality is that unions simply want to be the only ones able to communicate with public employees.
In addition, HB 1888 would make it harder for investigative journalists to report on public employees engaged in misconduct.
