So my wife has gotten her job back at the state(‘state’ as in communist state). Her union, who failed to argue for or protect her from termination due to her approved religious exemption for refusing the ***, is trying to convince her to pay union dues! She doesn’t have to pay union dues because about 5 years ago, a lawsuit determined that it was not necessary. She continued to pay union dues because she felt they protected her, helped her and so she felt it was the right thing to do. When the union failed to fight for her job(and others who received either religious or medical exemptions), and actually lied to its members about many of the repercussions for refusing the ***, she was livid. Unions are supposed to protect their members, right? So her union rep is trying to push and prod her and a few others to have union dues taken out of their checks. Ain’t gonna happen. I told her that the next time the union rep tries to coerce her to pay their ransom, she should tell the rep she will be happy to once they get her back pay and credit for the time she missed for her pension. She thought that was an excellent way to respond. This is delicious…
