Sunflower Army Ammunition Plant worker blasts union tax exemption
Mrs J M Ford of 1941 Emerald Dr criticizes what she calls politicking with workers funds at a Senate Finance Committee hearing in Washington. She cites a tax loophole exempting unions from unrelated business income and argues workers should not be compelled to pay dues used to elect political candidates. Ford notes Gov Docking vetoed right to work and claims AFL-CIO contributions influenced his campaign. She asks why union officials do not rely on persuasion and alleges many workers oppose compulsory union dues. During questioning by Sen Jack Miller, Ford reiterates many Americans are forced to support candidates they oppose.
