California Proposition

California's Proposition 226 California's Proposition 226 California's Proposition 226 California's Proposition 226 California's Proposition 226 The California's Proposition 226 effectively addresses the workers' rights with respect to their autonomy and freedom in which they are empowered to decide for the utilization withholding taxes that are deducted from the employers and are provided to the unions which utilize the generated monetary funds based on their autocratic decisions and lack to provide transparency in their decisions.

Advantages of California Proposition 1 Disadvantages of California Proposition 1 The California Proposition 226 apprehends for the employers and labor organizations in which these entities are required to get the permit from their employees in order to charge any withholding amount, union dues and amount to be contributed in political activities. The proposition makes the employee permission in this respect with the utilization of a mandatory form which ensures the consent of employee and helps in the process of record keeping in database.

In this way, the taxes and dues paid by employees are refrained to be used in political activities, government process and foreign affairs. The proposition is also known as the Political-Contributions by Employees, Union-Members and Foreign-Entities Statue and was constituted in June 1998. The proposition caused the formulization of payroll procedure in which the establishment of employees' consent for the utilization of their taxes took place (Ballotpedia, 1998).

The background of California Proposition encompasses that employers have been deducting a number of withholding taxes from the salaries and wages of their employees and these withholding taxes consists of dues to be paid for social security, the income taxes, medical insurance planning and donations in non-profit organizations. The amount that is collected from these taxes is utilized in several organizations, political parties, political activities, government, public developments and businesses. The large number of workers in California are associated with their respective labor unions.

Even the workers who are not associated with any labor union with respect to their work also provide support to these unions in order to represent themselves as a large entity of employees and impact their employers with respect to their shared benefits of collective bargaining system (Wilson, 1998). According to Ballotpedia (1998), the workers who are specified as the active members of the labor unions are obligated to pay a part of their wages or salaries to these unions.

Usually this amount is charged by the organization or the employer entities from the payroll of employees and is paid directly to these unions and the amount consists of the cumulative collected amount from the employees. The amount received from unions in this respect is often utilized for the conduction of political activities. The members of the union may demand for the prohibition of the deducted amount to be used for the political activities but the union possess the right to neglect such demand.

However, if the appeal is made from the non-union members then the union has to respond towards the appeal and discontinue the utilization of deducted money for the political purposes. The contribution made by the employees is forbidden to be used for the foreign entities, foreign political parties and foreign businesses and in the same way, the workers who are not the U.S. nationals are refrained from making any kind of contributions in these labor union deductions which are utilized for the political activities.

The Californian voters were asked to support the notion that if they want their paid dues that are eventually a condition in their employment, it should be used for the political activities. Thus the consent of employees is required because the support of unions for the activities conducted by the political parties often addresses the statements that employees do not even understand.

Therefore, the acts of these employees are stonewalled and manipulated by the unions due to the influence of unions on their members and the members then tend to follow the decisions made by the union leaders rather than making their decisions based on their personal autonomy.

It has been observed that unions in California collectively spend the 81 million dollars that are gathered from the deduction of wages from the employees and workers and the amount is considered to be used for the political purposes that specifically support the cycle of two-year elections (Smart Voter, 1998).

Advantages of California Proposition According to Wilson (1998), the members of the unions were given the right for the effective utilization of the hard earned money with respect to their beliefs and the personal interest of these members were not neglected and stonewalled be the unions. The members were given the right to refrain the utilization of their money from the purposes that they think are objectionable and support only those activities that effectively address the interest of the union members.

The billions of dollars earned by these workers were used by the organized union leaders to promote the political objectives that are not considered to be connected with the labor related objectives and workplace concerns. Hence, the misuse of the amount earned by the employees was taking place and the proposition of California addressed this notion effectively.

The workers usually tend to pay the union dues without questioning the utilization of their paid dues and even if they asked about the utilization of their money, they were not appreciated and answered justifiably by the union leaders. The implementation of the proposition will eradicate the foreign influence in the political activities because the foreigners will be banned to make any contributions in the union and thus, the foreign money will not be able to buy the political influence in the state.

As a result, the election of corrupted officers will be neglected and hence, better developmental policies will be implemented in the state with effective means of elections and the national candidates. According to the California Secretary of State (1998), the leaders of the unions tend to make decisions in order to support the political parties regardless of the members' opinion.

It is strongly believed that leaders imply these decisions because they propagate that they know better and the direction that they are following leads to the better employee benefits and workplace environment and their decisions are able to address the concerns that are highly related to the well-being of members.

However, the stated notion is not justified by these leaders and the collected amount is usually used for the political activities and purposes that either do not provide long-term benefits to the employees or do not address the employees' concerns at all.

The workers in organizations who are also the respected citizens of the state are usually deprived from their right of autonomy and tend to pay part of their wages for the benefit of their society and workplace but their consent is not considered to be adequate enough in order to give weightage to their consent. Moreover, the transparency between the traditional payroll deduction and contribution procedure is not maintained and thus, the employees do not understand and possess the knowledge about the contribution that they are making in the society.

This eventually deprives the basic law of freedom and autonomy that every individual possesses regardless of his working level and social status. Therefore, the implementation of the proposition will make the employees independent with respect to their decisions and will provide them with the transparency about the utilization of their money in the developmental, social and political activities in the state (LWV, 1998).

The political organizations and non-profit organizations will have to prove their effectiveness and efficiency in their related fields in order to prove that they are worthy of the monetary supported that has provided them from the contribution of workers' earned wages and thus, these organizations will have to work on a competitive basis in order to gain the trust with respect to their beneficial objectives that they tend to provide to the individuals of the society.

Therefore, the services and the developmental activities in the state will be increased resulting in the overall and long-term benefits for the well-being of individuals (Wilson, 1998). Disadvantages of California Proposition According to LAO (1998), the implementation of the proposition would increase the administration cost of the payroll departments in the organization due to the increased autonomy of employees for the effective utilization of their earned wages.

In this way, the employers will have to facilitate the large number of employees with respect to their consent and thus, the administration cost of finance and payroll departments will increase abruptly. It was estimated by the Office of the State Controller that the administrative cost will rise by 2 million dollars per year and the implementation of the process will cost from 2 to 5 million dollars.

Whereas, the current deduction and utilization of employees' wages are not comprehending any cost to the administrative departments and the implementation of the proposition will increase the administrative liability on the payroll departments. The beneficial interests of the NGOs and non-profit organizations will be compromised due to the autonomy of employees.

As well as the amount that is provided to these organizations that are contributing in the well-being of society will be effected adversely due to the lack of monetary support that is provided to them because the autonomy of employees will distribute the provided monetary funds to the number of organizations, political purposes and business.

The overall amount that is provided to these non-profit organizations will be reduced to a greater extent and hence, the contribution of these organizations that are working efficiently for the betterment of society will be reduced to a greater extent (LAO, 1998). The anti-political individuals who tend to perceive that the political activities are not favorable and should not be provided any support by means of monetary funds will refuse to contribute in the political purposes and the activities that strongly influence the betterment of the workplace and employee well-being.

Employee benefits will be effected negatively and the growth prospects of the society with respect to the public developments will be reduced. The state related developmental purpose of the political parties will not be supported by the individuals and the long-term developmental objectives that certainly provide facilitation to the workers will be neglected by the narrow perspective of these workers (Germond&Witcover, 1998). The overall monetary funds will be provided to the non-profit organizations and the public services of the state with respect to healthcare.

Rehabilitation will also suffer from the lack of support and will become ineffective with respect to the services that they contribute in the society. Olney (2014) infers that unions play the most effective role in the fund raising activities and possess a voice in order to address the issues that workers face at their workplace and in the society. The funds generated from the unions are independent from the business that provide support to the political parties from the revenue that is generated from their sales of provided products and service.

Hence, the illicit or impulsive support to the political parties will continue to be provided by the businesses and organizations. However, the role of unions for the betterment and development of society and workplace environment has been remarkable in the past decades. Also, the small amount of contribution from the workers ranging from 1 to 5 dollars per year does not really effect the workers and when it is collected and utilized for a specific purpose, then it provides its benefits.

The proposition will make the individuals to refrain the unions from contributing in the nonprofit organizations at a large scale because organizations can collectively provide the non-profit organizations with the monetary benefits rather than in isolation. Therefore, in order to maximize the benefits and support that is provided to the less privileged areas and NGOs; it is necessary that the maximum participation of workers is required to generate and allocate large monetary funds for the betterment of society.

Discussion The California's Proposition addresses the individuals' rights effectively in order to empower them for the contribution that they make for the betterment of their workplace and society. The role of union in the contribution of well-being is considered to be unclear by the workers and the workers usually do not know that the dues that are being deducted from their wages are used for the support of NGOs and non-profit organization or they are used for political activities.

The workers' lack the knowledge about the monetary funds that are utilized by the unions and they are left out in the decision making process by the leaders of unions who decide the areas where the collected funds should be provided. The workers lack the knowledge about the contribution that they are making in the society and thus, they believe that their earned money is used for some insignificant purposes that does not provide them with the workplace related benefits and long-term well-being to the society.

In this way, the labor unions that are true to their obligations and responsibilities lack the mutual trust from their workers and fail to address the workers' concerns. The implication of the proposition can create a transparency between the actions that are conducted from the labor union leaders and can provide employees with the satisfaction that their hard earned money is utilized for the betterment of their mutual interests (Wilson, 1998).

The generated funds are found to be provided to the political parties so that they can conduct their political activities and thus the objectives of these political activities do not address the interests of workers and fail to provide any short-term or long-term benefits related to the workplace practices and concerns. These political activities are not supported by the workers but due to the influence of union leaders, the union members i.e.

workers fail to comprehend the effective utilization of their contributed funds in the activities and entities in which they like to provide their funds. The implementation of this proposition provides the employees with the autonomy that either they want to contribute their earned money in the political activities or not and they can evaluate the weightage of activities and can select their direction of contribution in accordance with their individual interests.

The proposition 226 provides the workers with the ability to know the contributions that they are making with their earned money and the benefits that will be provided to them or to the society (Bucher, n.d). The implementation of proposition 226 will eradicate the misuse of money from the union leaders and the influential people in the union and will also reduce the corruption pertaining in the collected funds.

The workers will be provided with the basic law of freedom and autonomy which will lead towards the utilization of monetary funds that are strongly related to the workplace issues and concerns which are highly prioritized by the workers and hence, the monopoly of union leaders in the decision making will be decreased.

The employees will not feel that their interests and priorities are stonewalled by the influential leaders and will be able to contribute in the well-being of the society and workplace with the decisions that they think are the most important to be addresses (Milbank, 1998).

Proposition 226 effectively addresses the national concerns and aims to prevent the foreign influence in the state which is considered to be beneficial to reduce the foreign impact and promote the influence of national pupils in the state so that such developmental purposes can be conducted that effectively addresses the national concerns that.
