I suppose you don’t think constitutionally protected free speech rights apply to unions. Are you at least consistent and want to ban lobbying efforts by corporations? The leaders of corporations can join a political organization. Are you consistent and decry the fact that stockholders have to accept that the company they hold stock in can advocate for things they don’t like? Union members have a right to have the portion of their dues spent on political advocacy refunded to them. Stockholders have no such similar rights. Have you been in the classroom as a teacher? I’ve been teaching for over 20 years. I’m glad my Union advocates for social justice because I’m tired of students using student loans as a means of welfare. I’m tired of sick students not being able to afford healthcare and remain sick. I’m tired of dealing with students who have to work full time jobs to support themselves and can’t devote enough time for school. I’m tired of dealing with hunger, transportation problems, etc. But it doesn’t matter what you or I think. Unions have free speech rights and can advocate for things you don’t like. Get organized and fight for your position. There are lots of checks on unions and what unions spend on politics is nothing compared to the monied interests opposed to us.
