Although I don't belong to a union, I am a teacher...With all due respect, is such a thing even possible in today's day and age?

I do belong to a professional organization, because I teach lab classes & feel the need for professional liability insurance. I tried to get it through my homeowners but couldn't.
Most of the people I know who belong to the union joined not because they agree with the ideology of the NEA, but because it has the best professional liability insurance available. I had to settle for "second-best" because I cannot in good conscience support the NEA in any form or fashion.

In 1997, a federal judge ruled that a union cannot force teachers to join it in California. Teachers do have to pay the fees associated with the contracts negotiation, but have the right to not have any of their money go to the political ties the union has. Unfortunately, I don't think this is widely known.
