The Major even makes the point in the article. He’s been working for the schools for 15 years and was never part of a union. Now all of a sudden he gets a letter threatening to terminate his employment if he doesn’t pay a fee for the union. That’s extortion. Even more disgusting is that the superintendent and other officials are too cowardly to comment on this because they don’t want to get on the union’s black list.
I noticed that too, fifteen years and NOW they are trying to sqweeze him. What changed? I’m guessing that whoever it was that left it alone retired or moved to a different position and the replacement has decided to make an issue of it.
Pretty stupid to get into a public pissing match with the military over $500. It’s not worth the negative publicity in the current anti-public employee union atmosphere. Somebody is truly tone deaf at the union hq.
