Washington DC, Yesterday was a major victory for free speech, according to AFP ,”Today is a game-changer for New Jersey and the trajectory of the country,” Americans for Prosperity [Foundation]’s Garden State director, Erica Jedynak said yesterday in a statement. “A victory for worker freedom, public employees will no longer be forced to pay union dues as a condition of employment or fund political speech against their will.”
Jim Arakelian , “So the Supreme Court ruled today that labor unions can no longer “require” members to pay dues. I wonder how far this will go. Will other professional associations also have to follow suit? Stand by on this. One thing is for sure. The State’s PBA and NJEA will lose a significant amount of political clout with this as PAC’s will now be completely voluntary and teachers, cops, and fireman, will be free to truly exercise their right to support the candidates of their choice as opposed to their unions favorite “prom date”.
Public employees can learn about their newfound rights by visiting: or calling (833) 33-MYPAY, which is a LIVE Call Center.
That’s all well and good. If they don’t wanna be a team member that’s OK, but They expect the union to fight for them, how’s that could work.
What bullshit that is. O k great . So don’t have to pay my dues. If I do that I will be really liked right. No I will pay.
