3A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • TUESDAY, JULY 3, 2018 Initiative backers want ‘sanctuary’ law put to vote Immigration debate in Oregon By CLAIRE WITHYCOMBE Capital Bureau SALEM — Amid fervent protests of the Trump admin- istration’s policy of separat- ing immigrant families seek- ing asylum at the U.S.-Mexico border, supporters of an initia- tive petition to end Oregon’s long-standing “sanctuary” law are still trying to meet Friday’s deadline to get the petition on the November ballot. New allegations against a paid signature-gathering firm employed by the campaign could affect whether the sig- natures supporters of Initia- tive Petition 22 plan to sub- mit to the Oregon Secretary of State’s Office on Friday are deemed valid. A whistleblower is alleg- ing elections and labor law violations against Ballot Access LLC, which has been paid to gather signatures for IPs 22, 31 and 37, according to Our Oregon, a progressive coalition that filed the whis- tleblower complaints Monday. ‘Now more than ever, Oregonians need to trust in the integrity of our elections.’ Becca Uherbelau Our Oregon, a progressive coalition IP 22 was introduced by three Republican state law- makers in an effort to repeal a 1987 Oregon law that essen- tially says state and local resources can’t be used to enforce federal immigration law if the person’s only crime is being in the U.S. illegally. A spokesman for Orego- nians for Immigration Reform, which supports the measure, said in a phone interview Mon- day that he did not know how many signatures they had gath- ered, but that he would not tell a reporter even if he knew. A former signature gatherer for a company paid to circulate petitions for IP 22 and other Group launches campaign on union dues By PARIS ACHEN Capital Bureau SALEM — The Free- dom Foundation on Monday announced the launch of a campaign to inform thousands of public-sector employees in Oregon about their new abil- ity to opt out of union fees in the wake of a landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision last week. The court ruled 5-4 in Janus v. AFSCME Council 31 that mandatory dues vio- late free speech rights of pub- lic-sector workers who object to union positions. The opin- ion by the conservative major- ity overturned 40 years of case law that held that unions could take fees from nonmember workers to pay for collective bargaining. “The Janus decision marks the start of the end of the reign cords requests, he said. The court ruling means unions in Oregon and the other 21 states with mandatory dues are likely to see a loss of rev- enue and reductions to their budgets. The National Education Association — the largest teachers’ union in the country — projects an 8 percent loss in membership and a $28 million reduction in its budget in the coming year, Education Week reported Monday. However, another recent ruling about mandatory dues for home-care workers sug- gests that union membership will continue to increase even as some nonmember workers opt out of paying dues, union leaders said. In June 2014, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Harris v. Quinn that home-care work- of government unions’ politi- cal influence, but more impor- tantly than that, it means that public employees now have the ability to go out and give themselves a raise by ceasing to pay union dues,” said Aaron Withe, Oregon director of the Freedom Foundation, an anti- union organization that has bankrolled some local legal challenges of mandatory dues. The campaign involves an email blitz directed at pub- lic employees and canvassing outside of state government buildings, Withe said. The Freedom Foundation also will offer public employees assis- tance in the opt-out process, he said. The Freedom Foundation has obtained the names and email addresses of more than 100,000 Oregon government employees through public-re- WANTED ers who receive public funds as contractors are exempt from the mandatory union fees pub- lic sector employees must pay. Service Employees Inter- national Union Local 503 has seen a steady increase in home- care worker membership, from 13,824 in 2014 to 17,682 this year, said union spokeswoman Jill Bakken. Overall, about 70 percent of home-care workers who contract with the state are dues-paying union members, Bakken said. In a news conference Mon- day, Withe said at least 1,000 Oregon public-sector workers have signed up on their web- site to opt out of union dues. petitions — Ballot Access LLC — has filed complaints with the Bureau of Labor and Industries and the Secretary of State’s Office against the company. The signature gatherer, Connea Derber, alleges that Ballot Access LLC allowed her to gather signatures for IP 31, which would amend the state’s constitution to require stricter majority requirements for cer- tain tax laws, even though she was not registered to do so. She claims the company would have another person, a registered circulator, attest to collecting those signatures by Hiker rescued near Hug Point The Daily Astorian A hiker was rescued Mon- day after becoming stranded on a cliffside near Hug Point.
