As a result of the Supreme Court's ruling in Janus v. AFSCME, teachers and other public employees in 22 states can no longer be compelled to pay "Agency fees"-the money that the union claims it costs to represent them-as a condition of employment.
A teacher in newly liberated California can now save $1,100 or $1,200 per year in fees that the union claimed were necessary to cover the cost of representing him in collective bargaining.
CTA's parent, the National Education Association, bracing for a 10 percent loss in membership, is slashing its budget by $50 million and raising its per-teacher share of dues from $189 to $192. But while teachers and other public employees are off the unions' hook, the rest of us Californians are still paying.
Taxpayers foot the bill for the collection of union dues, which local school districts deduct from a teacher's monthly paycheck, just like federal and state withholding taxes.
A proposed bill in Louisiana would allow school boards to charge unions an administrative fee of up to 3 percent of the union dues.
In total, the NEA and its state affiliates take in about $1.6 billion a year in tax-free money, and that doesn't include money paid to NEA locals, the American Federation of Teachers and its affiliates, or AFSCME, SEIU, and all the other public-employee unions.
On an ongoing mission to kill off charter schools and voucher programs, the teachers' unions rail against "Privatizers" who seek to profit from public education.
