The coercive nature of the unions integration into the very fabric - TopicsExpress



          

The coercive nature of the unions integration into the very fabric of public education in Michigan was abhorrent to me, yet to teach and reach the youth of our state, I had to either join or pay the equivalent in dues. Being a teacher of social sciences, I felt an obligation to participate in the locals political process of voting, so I joined. I have found a viable alternative to the MEA that provides me with tangible benefits (discounts to restaurants and services my family actually uses) such as double the liability insurance for about one seventh the amount of money I was paying in dues to the MEA. The best part of my new teacher association? It is apolitical and actually focuses on teacher professional development. Rob Wiersema, Social Studies Teacher, Hopkins Public Schools #AugustOptOut
