The Oregon No Dues Collection by Government Amendment did not make the November 2014 statewide ballot as an initiated constitutional amendment. The measure would have prohibited requiring union membership as condition of public employment and would also have prohibited requiring "fair share" fee payments. The measure would have introduced what are commonly called "right-to-work" laws.[1][2]

The measure was sponsored by the Public Employee Choice Act Committee. Jill Gibson Odell and Libby Braeda were registered as the measure's chief petitioners.[2]
