“...come together and bargain collectively on behalf of students.”

STOP RIGHT THERE. This has nothing to do with students, and absolutely everything to do with teachers and union bosses.

I’m not criticizing good teachers. My Mom taught for 37 years, and she was great. Felt like she HAD TO BELONG to the NEA, since the legal protection would not be there (she thought) if she got sued for telling little Johnny to sit down and be quiet.

On behalf of students my foot. LIARS

Yes. It lets working families keep more of their money, and we can’t have THAT can we? I mean, where oh where are the union bosses going to vacation this year? Oh the humanity!

Great news!

Twenty years ago, I was a speech writer for a conservative state senator. I was forced to be a member of the SEIU, which took a percentage of my salary for union dues. The SEIU, in turn, took those dues and spent them on political candidates who would be running against Republicans like my boss. So, in essence, I was was forced to pay money that was being used to make me lose my job. It always p***ed me off beyond description. I’m glad to see they are finally getting a measure of ass handed to them.

> A union was forced on us here where I work at the Univ... I am going to see how fast I can get out of it now <

Be aware that this ruling only applies to public sector union members. So if you’re working for a private entity, you’re out of luck.

I am, in general, pro-union. But this is supposed to be a free country. EVERY worker should be able to decide for himself whether or not he wants to join a union. So I’d like to see another such case come up before the USSC, this one addressing private sector workers.

I am so glad my brothers and sisters in The agency i worked for no longer have to have money extorted from them just so they can work there.

Public sector employees are already have civil service protections. How they are allowed to unionize as well is a mystery.

The NEA is likely to see a lot of local unions remove their association from them.... Don’t kind yourself the NEA doesn’t care about your kids, never have.

Since members must now fully carry the load of their Union, and they can’t have non members subsidize it they will have to cut costs, and give local employees a reason to WANT to be in the Union.

Cutting out big payments to the NEA and other National Unions by local unions will drastically cut costs, and remove a lot of the objections from folks who might join, but don’t want to fund left wing politicians and causes.

Unions aren’t going away, but the forced subsidizing of them is going to force a lot of these national unions to be far less relevant, and that’s a great thing.

Democrats define “working” people as union members. If you aren’t in a union, you are worthless to the Dems. Private sector employees or small business entrepreneurs mean nothing to Dems.

I wonder if we former school union employees can file a class-action suit for retroactive dues reimbursement?

Heh-heh, we'd bankrupt them.

Stupid asses think we are dumb enough to believe that? In Wisconsin, public employee union membership is down 40% after they were give the choice. Nothing could be further from the truth than this BS.

BTW, the union thugs will be keeping track of who opts out of union dues and then paying them a visit at home.

It's going to get more violent.

The left is nuts and dangerous.

Yeah. I was a UFT member for 26 yesrs teaching in NYC. Would have opted for agency fee but that would have ostracized me, think about the Dean not answering the phone when you call to tell him a kid is assaulting another. But agency fee was 94% of regular dues so that was hardly worth it. But the author here rambles on about corporate interests. WTH?? This only involves public employee unions not the UAW. Temployer is the Public not Ford. Nonsense!!!
