Charlotte Council Approves Union Dues DeductionsCHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Charlotte City Council has agreed to allow city employees to have their union dues deducted from the paychecks. The Charlotte Observer reported that council voted 6-5 on Monday to allow the deductions. The United Electrical Workers has been pushing for the automatic payroll deductions as part of what it calls a "worker's Bill of Rights." The union has been trying to recruit city workers, especially from the sanitation department. City workers cannot be required to join a union. City governments cannot collectively bargain with unions. Unions must pay the city $1,000 a year for the cost of collecting the deductions. The city already allows employees to make automatic payroll deductions for some charities such as United Way. ___ Information from: The Charlotte Observer, http://www.charlotteobserver.com |
