Kenneth, I love it that the Republicans are again overreacting in NC by passing such legislation against the payroll deduction of membership dues. Now, the district will not have any method to know who is a member or not. Additionally, it will be another issue that serve as a rallying cry by teachers to get rid of the slob Republican in NC like they are recalling the Wisconsin Governor. Wonder what those right wing extremist on this site will do when they lose their famous Wisconsin Governor and retake the Wisconsin legislation. They will then whine about how unfair it was for him to be kicked out of office. Wouldn't be nice if we had locations to these right wing extremist so their houses could be picketed by what they call thugs. <gg> They would probably either over react or run and hide. <g>

Kenneth Thank you for the information. This isn't a political question------this is a taxpayer question and a privacy issue. and a rights issue. Taxpayers should not be supporting their local or state government to collect dues to any association The teachers association is getting a free ride on the backs of the taxpayers. It is not mandatory in the USA that a person must join an association of any sort and have fees collected by the government for membership in organizations . When I taught school I could pay dues directly to either of the two associations that claimed to represent teachers or not pay either. I had a choice. Those associations collected their dues directly, not called dues but membership fees. North Carolina Taxpayers are being screwed by someone who is requiring that Teachers association fees, dues be deducted from paychecks. How many more government employees must be hired in North Carolina to collect and keep the funds separate from other state funds??? (I am presuming they are not co-mingled) Why should the government of North Carolina invade the privacy of the teachers by having a list of those who are association members? And, by extrapolation develope a list of those who are not members? Seems like that Governor is toast--------- mj Additional Note Kenneth, please post links for the full article so that the full article may be read in its original form. It really helps to have those links. The only source given is the writers names--------at the end there is the word 'more' whatever the 'more' is or is not.
