Wow, the union ads attacking Amendment 47 are overflowing!! They are also complete loads of BS that only appeal to union workers and never state the actual Amendment language. Here is what Amendment 47 would do: every worker in the State of Colorado will get to decide for themselves whether or not to belong to a union. Its simple, unions are on the way out and union bosses don’t like it. Their numbers are dwindling and this is viewed as an attack on the “closed shops” where workers have no say as to whether or not they want to belong to the union.

The fact is that the only sector where union membership has increase in the last twenty years has been in Government. The reasoning then follows that this Amendment would shut down “closed shops” in GOVERNMENT agencies. The anti-47 ads are always wheeling out the “heroes” and saying that 47 would taking away their voices. Excuse me??? These “heroes” are workers working for the Government and answer to the taxpayers!!! In my opinion, no Government workers should be allowed to unionize. If they don’t like their working conditions they can take it to the voters. Its not at all like the ads make it out, that only evil corporate bosses are looking to squash the poor blue collar workers that have had to fight for every benefit and dollar they get. These “heroes” are working for YOU, the taxpayer. If you live in the state of Colorado and care about workers REAL rights, please vote YES for Amendment 47.
