Amendment 47 are fined for finance violation

The Colorado Right to Work Committee violated the state's campaign-finance law in failing to disclose all of the contributions made to its effort to put Amendment 47 on the November ballot, according to a court ruling.

Administrative Law Judge Michelle Norcross ruled that the committee be fined almost $10,000.

The finance complaint was filed last spring by AFL-CIO executive director Mike Cerbo and the union coalition in an effort to force disclosure of the initial financial backers of the measure.

Amendment 47 would do away with compulsory union fees for workers covered by collective bargaining contracts. Current state law requires that at least 75 percent of workers vote to establish such "all-union" agreements.
