I’ve heard that since WI gov’t quit witholding union dues, a very large percent of workers aren’t writing checks out of their own pockets for these dues. I’d really like to see some reporting on this.
Many teacher unions rushed contracts through with reduced packages just to get a year or two of dues still being sent to union direct. At the Oshkosh Board of Ed meeting this was openly discussed and the board still approved the contract just days before the Gov signed the new law. Hopefully we can correct this problem with upcoming elections.
