Gotta love it. They claim that fewer than 5000 opted out in August but there were only some 11,000 members to begin with. The opt out window closed 4 days ago and the judge is throwing it open permanently.

Hard to say what the truth is but I know thousands have simply quit paying dues and I have a feeling they're down to only a couple thousand members now.

The MEA paints a rosy picture but if I'm looking at the numbers right, they're pretty much finished.

Years ago, my brother taught in South Dakota when the union went after any teachers who “opted out.” He did anyway (Mom and Dad’s brood never lacked the stomach for a righteous fight), but he said most of the teachers just quit paying dues. It was just as effective. The union withered and died on the vine.

Impressive. A judge understands what a “right to work” law means. Any other ruling would have had her ridiculed out of office.
