House Bill No. 2130
Labor Organizations, Political Activity
It shall be a prohibited practice for a public employee organization to endorse candidates, spend any of its income, including any income in the form of or derived from any dues, fees, assessments or any other periodic payments, directly or indirectly, to engage in political activities
This is part of the bill that was fended off for now, but it will be back January 9, 2012. If this gets passed, it will be harder for organizations to collect money for political action.

Kansas Workers Compensation Law
Gov. Brownback signed into law significant changes in the Kansas Workers’ Compensation Act. These changes will be effective on May 15, 2011, and will apply to all injuries occurring after that day. Most of the changes are adverse to injured workers, especially older workers who may have preexisting conditions. As your Union attorneys, we are trying to provide this information to Union members before the law changes.
