We are Union Strong- Beware of Anti-Union Attacks on Our Union!!!
Anti-union groups like the so-called “Freedom Foundation” are ramping up their anti-worker efforts in Connecticut, using Freedom of Information (FOI) laws to request the home addresses of state employee union members. Their goal? To weaken our union and strip us of the collective power that has secured better wages, benefits, and job protections for over 50 years.
Freedom Foundation: The Freedom Foundation is a billionaire-funded, anti-worker special interest group with a clear mission: to defund and dismantle public sector unions. They oppose wage increases, retirement security, sick leave, and other critical worker protections. Their ultimate aim is to privatize public services for corporate profit- at the expense of workers and the communities we serve.
Their Tactics: Misinformation & Deception: They want you to believe that saving minimal dues is worth giving up the power to negotiate fair wages, benefits, and working conditions. But the reality is that our collective strength in our union is the only thing standing between us and the austerity policies that would leave workers worse off.
