All Comments:

Jack Biltis, Self: This bill requires that labor unions follow the same rules employers currently follow relating to
benefit programs. Employees would gain protection by requiring their unions to disclose plan overcharges and
allow employee opt-out.; Danny Goldberg, Self: Its time for FULL DISCLOSURE its 2020, not 1940!; Benjamin
Bousquet, Self: | support this bill; Nate Curran, Self: This bill is really about giving AZ workers a choice. The union
transparency requirements would be the same as any employer and allows workers to choose the best benefits for

Attachment__2
them personally.; Jacquelyn Grinder, Self: Unions operate not as advocates for employees but as advocates for
their bank accounts. They force others to play by rules they are above. If they truly care about workers rights,
they would welcome the opportunity to be transparent; Kevin Sedwick, Self: | absolutely support this bill; Edeki
Okoh, Self: In the spirit of capitalism, unions should be held to the same standard as private companies in order to
ensure that consumers and workerscan get the best benefits provided to them in the most transparent way. This
is why | support HB2872; Brian Kisil, Self: | support HB 2872. | have several friends complain that they do not know
what their union fees go fo, and have no way to find out.; Michael Dowdy, Self: To whom it may concern. { support
HB2872; Mike Brown, Self: | support this bill whole heartedly.; Andrea Porter, Self: | support this bill; Rachelle Resz,
Self: [ support this bill; Victor Peterson, Self: This bill is a direct attack on working men and women in Arizona who
have the right to organize and work under a union contract. This bill is unconstitutional. It will be challenged in
court and cost the state millions in litigation.; Luci Messing, Self: This bill would force an unnecessary burden on
public unions. It is an attempt to dismantle unions and the ability for workers to have a voice regarding their
employment. This is union busting and will harm the thousands of employees who belong.; Joseph Witt Jr., Self:
Bill is preemtive to several federal laws governing unions across the nation. Bill will cost the state millions in
ligigation as it also unconstitutional. This is an attack on hard working families and their right to organize.; Marion
Chubon, Self: This is classic ALEC Union busting. It is also probably illegal as it empedes on the Constitutionally
protected right to collective bargaining.; Joan Marie Beverstock, Self: Flawed bill imposes excessive requirements
on labor organizations regarding their benefit programs along with some reasonable disclosure and reporting
requirements.; John Stuckey, Self: This is a thinly veiled attack on labor unions. Its very introduction is an attempt
to cast doubt in the minds of potential union members as to the integrity of their chosen bargaining reps. !'d love
to see a similar bill applied to all employersi; Megan Hawkes, Self: Labor unions and regulations should not be
changed. They represent their members fairly and offer choices to them. This bill would hurt unions whose sole job
is working with and fighting foe their members.; Briona May, Self: This legislation violates the U.S Constitution and
several federal laws.; Dawn Schumann, Self: This bill is far reaching and plain wrong. Unions are more fiduciary
responsible than most companies, will protect workers, stand up for workers and this bill is another ALEC led bill
tries to destroy the Labor Movement. WE ARE UNION BY CHOICE!

All Comments:

Susan Hicks, Self: Makes total sense!; Brian O'Neill, Self: Respectfully in opposition of HB2817 on behalf of Phoenix-
Mesa Gateway Airport.; Ricardo Carlo, Self: Against Bill. Everyone should pay their fees.; kathleen mayer, Self: butt
out of local jurisdictions; Rivko Knox, Self: Not everything is a state issue. Please leave this issue to the cities! !;
Janna Day, SOUTHWEST AIRLINES COMPANY: This bill would create an uneven playing field between businesses
operating at Sky Harbor by shifting costs to those other airlines/businesses that do pay fees. It is crucial that ALL
companies utilizing airport infrastructure pay their fair share.; Alicia Klassen, Self: | thought local control was a
priority for many of the sponsors of this bill.; Joseph Witt Jr., Self: Legislative over reach on a municipality issue.;
Bonnie Barker, Self: There is nothing special about these companies that they should be exempt over others;
Dianne Post, Self: Local control. Let cities run themselves, These businesses exploit workers and abuse the public.;
Donita Ramos, Self: Stay out of all city's business.; Ruthanna Battilana, Self: All airports charge fees. Phoenix should
be able to do the same.; Kathryn Kaczmarek, Self: This bill would put a strain on city budgets. I strongly oppose
this bill.; Susan Morris, Self: As a Lyft user, | am willing to pay this fee, But then, I'm willing to pay higher taxes for
good reasons, too.; Signa Moore, Self: many airports nationwide, as well as in Tucson and Mesa, all charge similar
fees. Nobody likes fees, but without this one, Arizona would be an outlier —- and limiting fees could strain city
budgets.; Sharon Gerrard, Self: Airports are supported in great part by fees. Other major airports have them;
Brenda Nelson, Self: Limiting fees could strain city budgets as airports across Arizona tend to operate on fees
rather than on tax dollars from local governments. OPPOSE; Jackie Rich, Self: Allow this to be decided in court.;
Sarah Fanning, Self: LD17, 85248; Monica Gellman, Self: Nobody likes fees, but this would make AZ an outlier, and
not in a good way.; Penny Boone, Self: Limiting fees could strain city budgets as airports across Arizona tend to
operate on fees rather than on tax dollars from local governments. This is an effort to eliminated car sharing
services, Oppose.; Margaret Winchell, Self: Limiting fees could strain city budgets as airports across Arizona tend to
operate on fees rather than on tax dollars from local governments; William Kelly, Self: Stop trying to micromanage
other entities.; Marilyn Childs, Self: it appears that the legislators think that everything should be free or nearly
free. Itis only fair that Lyft and Uber pay their fair share for use of the airport. | use Uber and would not mind
paying this additional fee.; Sue Thorne, Self: Airports across AZ operate on fees rather than on tax dollars from
local governments. This bill would block a planned increase by Phoenix Sky Harbor. Limiting fees would strain
city budgets.; Mary-Jeanne Fincher, Self: These fees are a legitimate means of cost-sharing.; Roxanna Kearns, Self:
Airports should be allowed to raise fees on Uber and Lyft.; Jo Ann Caruthers, Self: Fees common at airports in other
states. Airports rely on fees. Bill is not a good idea.; Chris Schmaltz, TUCSON AIRPORT AUTHORITY: Tucson Airport
Authority is a standalone non-profit corp, not part of any municipal government. We rely on our rents and fees
revenue, incl ground transport fees from TNCs, taxis & shuttles, to pay for everything we do as an airport. Please
vote no.; John Stuckey, Self: Uber and Lyft don't need financial assistance from the State.; Roy Verdery, Self: Uber
and Lyft should pay fees, like any other service, to operate at our airports.; Laurie Munn, Self: This bill is important
for city budgets. Uber and Lyft should have to pay their fair share, same as cab companies. Airports across the
state tend to operate on fees. Let's not make it harder to maintain our airports. Please vote no.; Janet Herbert,
Self: Oppose.; Diane Nevill, Self: It is not up to the state to ban airports across Arizona from raising fees on Uber

and Lyft. Airports across the country have these same fees. It is up to the cities to make these choices.; Jean
Meconi, Self: Cities should be able to implement fees which support their airport operations.; Mary Keerins, Self:
Airports have had to build new spaces to accommodate Uber and Lyft. Allow airports to decide on the user fees
needed to support their work.; Beverly Cameron, Self: AZ would be an outlier with this bill, and while nobody likes
fees they are necessary to support city budgets.; Carol Anne Evans, Self: Don't ban these fees. Other airports
across the country charge them. The fees are reasonable.; Patrick Diehl, Self: Micro-management! Why should Lyft
or Uber get a free ride?; Linda Meigs, Self: Vote NO -- without these fees, city budgets across AZ would be strained,
and Uber has threatened to stop operating at Sky Harbor! Many airports nationwide (as well as in Tucson and
Mesa) all charge similar fees.; Gretchen McGill, Self: Please oppose this bill. Our airports need the fees from Lyft
and Uber to cover the costs of operating. We have the best airport in the nation - | love flying in and out of Sky
Harbor, but they need the funds to make it run smoothly. Vote no; Robert Maier, Self: Airport revenues are based
on taxing services of all kinds. This bill fails to identify how the Airport can otherwise recover revenue for the
services provided by Transportation Network Companies.; Jeremiah Hoeflich, Self: limiting Sky Harbor's ability to
produce revenue could end up making it require taxpayer funds to operate/expand. AZ should not be legislating to
shield specific companies from fees.; Mark Pilwallis, Self: Would like to speak on the importance of not restricting
growth potential at the airport. The airport must keep pace with growth in the valley to remain an effective
economic engine. Restricting fees will inhibit airport growth and operations.; Wes McClure, Self: The fact that all
of the companies that work at the airport pay their fees and multi billion dollar companies dont want to is
completely unfair; Todd Klimas, Self: Uber and Lyft make a lot of money operating on the airport's infrastructure.
They should pay for that usage the same as other businesses that profit from doing business at the airport.; Jack
McCain, American Airlines: American Airlines respectfully opposes HB 2817 because of the potential for unfair
cost-shifting to other airport tenants, including airlines.; Leezie Kim, Self: As Chair of the Phoenix Aviation Board, |
oppose this bill.

conditions of employment (A.R.S. § 23-1301).

A person cannot be denied the opportunity to gain and keep employment because of non-
membership in an LO (A.R.S. § 23-1302).

A person who is responsible for the denial of employment to an individual because of non-
membership in an LO, is liable to the individual injured and can be sued (A.R.S. § 23-1306).

Provisions

i. The LO's total revenue and expenditures for each benefit within this state and
nationally;
ii. The price of each unit collected:
iii. The cost of each benefit provided to the Member;
iv. A list of any payments that the LO makes during the year for each benefit; and
v. A reconciliation and explanation of any differences between the LO’s total revenue
and expenditures, and the list of payments that the LO makes during the year for each
benefit.
b) Requires the disclosure to be made each year, no later than 60 days after the end of the
LO's fiscal year;
i. The disclosure must be signed by an officer of the LO under the penalty of perjury;
c) The disclosure must be either:
i. Provided to each Member and employer as a paper mailing or via email; or
ii. Posted on the LO's publicly viewable website. (Sec. 1)

Comments on proposed AZ HB 2817

If a commercial operator chooses to engage in activity on airport property, or at the airport curb in the
case of ground transportation providers, they should be willing to pay their fair share of costs associated
with the provision of that space in order to ensure that world class infrastructure, safety and efficiency
are all afforded to users. In other words, no one commercial ground transportation operator should get
a free ride to the detriment of all other users. As part of the off-airport parking company industry and
the ground transportation community in Phoenix, our members actively participated in the rigorous and
extensive benchmarking study with SkyHarbor over the past year and a half. We can honestly say that
throughout the course of that benchmarking study and discussions thereafter, the airport staff and their
consultants were trying in good faith to understand the best practices of other airports around the
country and actively listened to concerns from the ground transportation community. Yes, we all would
have appreciated if there had been more detailed discussions around the airport’s ground
transportation costs and the specific allocations amongst the various types of ground transportation
providers. However, the resulting fee structure was not, in our opinion, punitive or targeted, it merely
took into consideration the extensive use of the airport infrastructure by certain types of providers. To
weight the scale in favor of one type of ground transportation industry in the way that this proposed
legislation does is anti-competitive, unfair, unreasonable and does nothing to encourage participation in
the free market by those other industries and ground transportation providers who are willing to pay
their fair share. If the underlying policy goal of this legislation is, as some Members have stated, to
ensure that transportation options at Arizona’s airports are affordable and accessible, then HB 2817
doesn’t go nearly far enough. If that is truly the aim, then everyone should get a free ride at the airport
— like private passenger vehicles currently do. That is a dangerous precedent for this state to head
down. We don’t think that picking a winner from the free market is the intent or the goal of this
legislature so we respectfully request that you seriously consider what the goal is.

We oppose HB 2817 in its current form and hope you will too.

Sincerely,

Near Airport Parking industry Trade Association Board
