Fair Share Public Hearing

Man said he was from Atlantic Coca Cola bottling company...said this bill is anti-jobs proposal. Sorry, I missed his name.

Sue Dinsdale, union activist, said this bill won't force people into unions.

Donna Houston, music teacher from Marion County...called it forced unionization. Bill excludes school employees but still erodes right to work. Forcing people into unions "erodes of all of our freedoms." Her voice sounds like Jane Krakowski, the actress from 30 Rock.

Dave Price, reporter from West Des Moines...do they serve food at these things? My PB & J sandwiches are wearing off!

My name is Donna Huston not Houston. Twin Cedars is the first school to de-certify the ISEA union in Iowa. The union de-certified themselves in Pomeroy-Palmer 6 years ago because they ony had one member. I don't think the folks there were too sad to see them go.
We de-certified them as a direct action against this continuing threat of being forced to pay dues to a union with dubious positions and handling of money.

oops I meant "only" not "ony". And thanks, Dave, for that comment about my voice!
