Agree 100%.
Im the United States most local and state ballots have measures on them generated by petition drives. Get X number of registered voters to sign a petition and it is on the ballot.
I always signs these when the someone approaches me. I may not agree with the cause or be a proponent of the goal, but the group organizing should have the right to appear on the ballot and have citizens votes on it.
- CydeWeys 7y agoFew if any are trying to eliminate the ability to have ballot initiatives, whereas plenty of moneyed individuals are trying to eliminate unions. I don't think it's a fair comparison.
- pgrote 7y agoI think you may have taken my comment out of context. I was replying to the OP when they said: "One can be pro-organizing but not pro-union." My understanding is the OP Was looking at it through the lens of a worker. My comparison was meant to say I support someone's initiative to have something put up for a vote, but that doesn't mean I will vote for it. I could have been plainer in the explanation.
