SEIU, Monopolist
In 2022, Lyft used environmentalism to mask a tax grab for its own benefit. Today, the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) employs a "tax-the-rich" facade to bankroll its own members. While both schemes are rooted in greed, SEIU wields a power Lyft never could: a government-mandated monopoly.
Unlike Lyft, which must compete with Uber, Waymo and others, SEIU faces zero competition. Thanks to the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act signed into law by Governor Ronald Reagan in 1968, San Francisco is legally barred from negotiating with anyone other than SEIU Local 1021. This law grants SEIU an exclusive grip over thousands of public employees.
Govern For California helped defeat Lyft’s self-serving measure and now stands with those opposing SEIU’s greedy grab. San Franciscans cannot undo the legal irony that has held their city hostage since the Reagan era, but they can—and must—reject this latest attempt to exploit the tax code. Vote NO on the SEIU tax.
Shocked me to my core w the part about Reagan being the one who signed the exclusiving w SEIU 1021. Can you throw in 3 sentences as to why he did that? I guess if the answer is, “They agreed to back him for Governor forever” if he did that, you could just reply: “Duh, JP”. Thanks. JPC
Break the buzz words codes that mask all public sector union power grab (D).
Keep up the good work. The tax dollars we save will be our own. Sunshine and transparency, exposing the public sector union takeover of our entire state cannot start too soon.
Beccera will follow Newsom as only the unions willing errand boys. Stop this one-party government free fall right now.
