Supremes To Rule On Union Agency Fees

If you are a teacher in California at the schoolhouse door your First Amendment rights you must check

Forced to pay dues that may go to policies and politicians your might want to reject

Public employee unions like the teachers are great Blue campaign PACs

Millions going only to Blue coffers to then Red candidates attack

Unions when for higher wages and working conditions is their focus and goal

Definitely in the workplace have a welcome role

But when the electoral process with forced contributions subvert

With too much pressure on elected officials with money to exert

We quickly have an unfunded pension liability disaster

The unions not the voters become a ruthless master

The Supreme Court is hearing a case brought by two teachers questioning the legality of agency fees

Anticipating the decision is not a sure thing but the questions seem the Supremes with the plaintiffs agree

Unions should be in the marketplace to compete for members who could either join or refuse

Forcing a nonmember to pay fees to support policies they oppose is the exercise of First Amendment to abuse
