When I was a teacher in CA in the 1990s, I was required to join the NEA. In fact, one year I had to be the cursed union rep for our school simply because no one else wanted the job.
Frankly, as an evangelical Christian I had virtually no similar values or political beliefs that the union had. Never mind having the $ deducted from my check that went for lobbying liberal causes, Planned Parenthood & any democrat running for office.
Professional unions are a joke, if you ask me. Their leadership is often completely out of touch w/ the people they claim to represent.
Anyway, glad I’m outta there now. Great article!
