Go to the union rep and demand to know how much of the dues paid is going to collective bargaining and how much is going to political activity. Demand to fill out a paper requesting a refund of that being used on political activity. The union thugs will scream but if the teacher is persistent, the money will be refunded.

Really enjoying all the comments about EFF's work and how teachers in other states can be informed of their rights -- thanks!
