On Monday, the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in the case Friedrichs v. California Teachers Association. Rebecca Friedrichs and nine other teachers are calling into question the agency fees that public-sector workers are required to pay to unions, which they say violate their First Amendment rights. If the Supreme Court rules in Friedrichs' favor, it would make union dues voluntary for all public-sector workers.

More and more teachers are fed up with unions who take their money and give them little in return.

California teachers are fighting forced union dues at the Supreme Court.

Teachers union gave 400 million to democrat candidate Obama alone not counting other money in 2008 alone. For the children my ass?

None will be allowed to leave the tyranny and slavery of forced unionization...

Agents for SEIU showed up at my door, uninvited, unannounced, unwanted. They required that I admit them into my house. I felt intimidated.

Employees at my workplace subsequently received an anonymous flyer detailing the disadvantages of SEIU membership, in terms of internecine warfare among various locals.

Unrepresented employees at my workplace thereafter chose another union to represent them.

I’m curious why you didn’t shoot the people who forced their way into your home?

The unions are perfect examples of O’Sullivan’s Law:

Any organization or enterprise that is not expressly right wing will become left wing over time.

I applied for a county job and on its summary page. It states to the fact whether you join a union or not, money will still be deducted from your paycheck. Sheesh I thought liberals were for choice.
