IS THAT WHERE YOU WANT YOUR MONEY TO GO?

I have always been against the idea that my union dues go to causes that I fundamentally disagree with. If anyone wants to make a donation to any of those causes, more power to them. Just not with my money, my union dues. Because of the spiteful and brutal manner that they routinely and smugly operate with I am hesitant to go through the process (I attempted it once). 

Neil McCabe  wrote a pretty good article on this. Give it a read and tell me what you think. http://townhall.com/columnists/neilmccabe/2013/05/12/chalkboard-rebellion-in-the-golden-state-n1591943/page/full

Have a great day!

Thanks to my Union

Unions are sort of a necessary evil in the world of education. I appreciate that the union seeks the best possible pay and benefits for me and my fellow educators. But, what they do with my dues greatly concerns me. For example they give large sums of money to a group that seek homosexual rights. No problem. Except I have never in 21 years seen these people in support of teachers. I have never heard from them in support of teachers politically. To me, it is just money to keep them from hassling us.

They are also a great guide for me when I vote. Whatever my union recommends, I vote the opposite. Since most unions make no pretense of being open minded or neutral it makes it easy for me.

Thanks.
