Excellent! I remember when I started teaching, and I was asking about being exempt from the union. I was told I had to still pay the collective-bargaining fees, and that I would have to jump through hoops to get out of the rest. Lots of I rolling and sighing and paperwork.Of course I was blackballed at that point and my job offer rescinded. I kind a new it would be :-).
