Union dues are not used to cover school expenses, they are to cover (by law, SCOTUS decision, and Executive Order... and the NEA still refuses to comply) ONLY collective bargaining, contract administration and grievance adjustment. Under Beck, employees may halt and reclaim all forced union dues used for politics and other activities unrelated to the above 3 purposes. Of course, if this were any corporation, the courts would mandate the refunds to be immediate and in full. Since it is the Left's precious conduit for controlling our schools, the rules get ignored.
Yes, that's my assumption, but that doesn't stop the NEA from claiming it wil hurt schools if they are forced to pay back millions of dollars. We will here such phrases as "....undermining the NEA's ability to represent its members" and "......will set the public education system back 20 years and fail our children across the county".
