| About ALEC |
|---|
ALEC is a corporate bill mill. It is not just a lobby or a front group; it is much more powerful than that. Through ALEC, corporations hand state legislators their wishlists to benefit their bottom line. Corporations fund almost all of ALEC's operations. They pay for a seat on ALEC task forces where corporate lobbyists and special interest reps vote with elected officials to approve “model” bills.

Introduction of ALEC Model "Right to Work Act"
Handlin, along with Declan O'Scanlon, co-introduced A. 4223 on July 29, 2011. This legislation establishes the 'New Jersey Right to Work Act' and prohibits payroll deductions of union dues wages and salaries of public employees. Specifically, this legislation states: "no person in the employ of any employer shall be required as a condition of employment or continuation of employment to: become or remain a member of a labor organization; pay any dues, fees, assessments, or other charges of any kind or amount to a labor organization."[2]
ALEC's Public Employer Payroll Deduction Policy Act also prohibits the payroll deduction of membership dues by public employers and thus mirrors A. 4223. Specifically, ALEC's model legislation states: "no dues, fees, assessments or any other automatic payroll deductions by public employers from public employee payroll compensation shall be allowed for transmission to any public employee organization."[3]
