Protect teachers' paychecks from union bosses

Another way to support Oklahoma educators is to protect their paychecks from union bosses. The same unions that have pushed critical race theory and school closures intimidate new teachers into handing over part of their salaries. Liberal unions want to keep a stranglehold on their cut of teacher pay. Enough is enough! Every other profession lets you opt-in to health insurance and other benefits at work every year. Unions should be opt-in, not opt-out! Source: 2022 State of the State Address to the Oklahoma legislature , Feb 7, 2022

Reduce barriers on occupations; increase worker freedom

Stitt signed the Oklahoma Taxpayer Platform which includes the following planks:

Free-Market Environment: Preserve the gains made in Oklahoma in the past 20 years toward greater worker freedom and a less-adversarial legal climate. Remove unnecessary barriers set up by state and local government for many occupations. Encourage stronger market forces in health care, education, and other sectors, with less picking of winners and losers by government.
State Sovereignty: Provide a barrier between Oklahomans and Federal overreach that limits our Constitutional liberties. We cannot continue to let the Federal government impose restrictions, mandates and costs that infringe on our rights.
