New York Gov. Hochul Accused of 'Hit Job' on Free Speech by Labor Group Over New Union Communication Law

Summary

New York Governor Kathy Hochul is facing accusations of a "hit job" on free speech from the Freedom Foundation after signing a law that allows the state attorney general to fine groups for deceptive communications falsely appearing to be authorized by a union. The Freedom Foundation, which campaigns against public-sector unions, claims the law is a targeted effort to silence its outreach to public employees regarding their right to leave unions and stop paying dues.
