\nThis summer, we told you about one of the nation’s largest unions imposing a fundraising quota on locals and workers in an illegal scheme to fund its political action committee. Here’s the latest:\n<\/p>\n

\n

\n\tThe National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation will file a formal complaint with the Federal Election Commission asking it to investigate a campaign fundraising scheme adopted by the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) at its convention this summer.\n\t<\/p>\n

\n\tThe union and its officers appear to be violating federal labor law and the Federal Election Campaign Act by imposing financial penalties on local affiliates who fail to meet Political Action Committee (PAC) fundraising targets. On June 3, delegates to the SEIU convention approved Constitutional Amendment #317 in time to take effect for this year\u2019s federal elections.\n\t<\/p>\n

\n\tThe policy imposes on each SEIU local an \u201cannual SEIU COPE fundraising obligation.\u201d SEIU COPE is the SEIU\u2019s federal PAC. If a local fails to meet this requirement, the SEIU imposes heavy fines. However, federal election law forbids unions from \u201cutilizing money\u2026secured by\u2026financial reprisals\u2026 or the threat of \u2026 financial reprisal\u201d to fund a PAC.\n\t<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
