A lot of these  unions were voted on to represent workers from 30-40 years ago. Today's employees should be able to have a say in their unionization just like those workers did.

     It's true, we're really talking about binding people by decisions of a bygone era here.

I would like to propose the following amendment:

Basically, this amendment aims to ensure that the people participating in these referendums are the people who will be directly affected by the outcome, as opposed to Super PACs or political parties.

Am I to interpret that this means the union will be unable to campaign for reauthorization?

     I would surmise that the union could encourage its officers in the workplace to organize proponency for maintaining unionization, but they would be forbidden from supporting those efforts directly.

     I am concerned about the usage of the word "support", since I expect that mere statements for or against unionization would tend to fall under protected free speech. I think we are on more solid ground merely prohibiting "aid", which would imply actions taken to assist either side directly.

     We didn't strike "support", did we?

     Hmm, aye. I'll just propose another bill to amend this one.
