You don’t have to tell me. In California, we are held captive. Help! Severel years ago, an employee of the California State Employees Assn was stealing thousands of dollars to feed her gambling habit. I think she went to prison for a time but the big wigs of the organization . . . nothing happened to them. Business as usual. They have way too much power and the dues just keep pouring in. There’s no way to stop it but thanks for trying.
We here in Upstate New York suffer the same legal monopolies and high costs of AFSCME and SIEU, due to rules made in Albany — but unlike NY City, we don’t have Wall Street and Manhattan property tax revenues to pay for it. It’s killing Upstate, but these groups are so entrenched in Albany, it won’t change. That’s why people simply leave this State.
mark for later. thanks.
