This button most likely corresponds with California Proposition 32, which was defeated by voters in November of 2012. The proposition sought to prohibit unions from using payroll-deducted funds for political purposes and permit voluntary employee contributions to an employee-sponsored committee or union with yearly written authorization. The proposition also aimed to ban contributions to candidates by corporations and labor unions and ban contractors who receive government contracts from donating to office holders involved in awarding the contract or committees controlled by said officers.  The proposition was strongly opposed by workers unions and supporters of unions who view the proposition as being anti-labor.
