In my state, if you choose not to join the NEA you still have to pay what they call fair share dues. They say it is for contract negotiation. It is the same amount of money as union dues. But if you join the union, you get union legal coverage,

Thanks for explaining that. I knew they had their bases covered. They're good at what they do. Very good.

Not just the NEA, but ALL union controlled stae gov'ts have this little zinger.
