SCA 7 would give unions unprecedented power over state and local government decisions and California businesses. It would amend the California Constitution to create a new “constitutional right” elevating a worker’s “right to economic wellbeing at work” to the same status as free speech, freedom of religion, etc. Though called “The Right to Organize and Negotiate Act,” SCA 7 has nothing to do with organizing or negotiating. These rights are already firmly established in state and federal law. Instead, if SCA 7 were to become law, union lawyers could argue that a decision to close a school, build a road or improve the state’s infrastructure affects the “economic wellbeing” of state and local workers, allowing unions to veto the decisions of elected officials. And no California business would be immune. One employment expert warned that SCA 7 would “cement California as the most anti-employer state in the country.” As former state Sen. John Moorlach explains, “Democracy is gone if this passes.”
