1. Fair share fees should apply anyway

In many states, unions can collect'fair share' amounts from nonmember staff who benefit from the collective bargaining agreement.

It is a little less than full dues which usually add some professional liability insurance and see money for lobbying efforts for teachers


I hated those opt out asshats when I was a union negotiator. They got the same raise and benefits as the rest of us, but didn't want to pay their fair share.

That was one of the pieces of the antiteacher union laws in red states about ten years ago. They wanted to ban fair share.
