OP-ED: Illegal union dues ‘rebate’ scam exposed
The Mercury Columns ^ | 06/05/2015 | The Mercury Columns

Here’s how the scam works: Near the end of each academic year, APSCUF informs their members that it miraculously found an extra $25 per person in dues that it doesn’t need. The union then portrays itself as an honest broker and offers the money back as a “rebate.”

The rebate form gives members three options for their $25:
1. Let the union keep it;
2. Donate it to APSCUF’s political action committee; or
3. Have it sent back to them.

Presenting this “found” money with these options and urging members to donate to APSCUF’s PAC has proven extraordinarily effective — the union raises tens of thousands of dollars earmarked for politics annually through the campaign.

So how has APSCUF managed to find the same surplus every year for the last 17 years? Easy — it simply overcharges every single member at the beginning of each year.

And if they ask for it back their name is listed under ‘anti-union’ and further action is taken.

I have family history. My wife, the union thug, belonged briefly to the teacher’s union. My uncle, the plant manager, died during a grave-digger’s strike and so was buried by management, which we thought he would have liked.

I know People who get Tax Refunds who think they aren’t paying Taxes.

No, I’m not talking about the EITC which actually gives People Tax Refunds who don’t pay any Taxes. Well, it isn’t actually a Refund is it? LOL

We are so screwed.

This scammery reminds me of what the Republican National Committee has done and may still do. They send you a “registered” survey that gets you to essentially rank the issues that are important to you. When you return the survey, ostensibly to provide direction for the Republican party, what they actually do is use the information to structure future fundraising letters you. They know what your hottest buttons are, and press them selectively.
