For me, it’s been clear for some time that this measure will OVERWHELMINGLY pass. My guess has been 70%+.
I presume the mavens running the unions know this. Hence they might not even spend much money fighting it — on the ballot.
Instead, I see the labor bosses spending all their time and their members’ union dues fighting it in the courts for as long as possible.
In addition, they will go to their dutiful servants in the state legislature for statutory relief. Already the state Democrats are taking such steps in related matters — they got privatization of CA libraries essentially banned in some circumstances.
No one said that reform was going to be easy.
