If you have any doubt about the nature of prop. 75…
…then read this article. There is no question that big unions like the CTA (see below) actively take money from their union members for political campaigning without concern as to whether the membership supports the idea and the only way to opt-out is to end their membership in the union. In the above example from the article, the CTA just assessed each member (and that’s every full time teacher in every California public school) $60 for each of the next 3 years to pay for political campaigning without a vote of the membership. The decision was made by the union officials. This increase will raise $50 million for political campaigning.
That suggests that there are about 270 thousand teachers in California. That seems little high to me… geez, I guess not. According to the CTA website, the “CTA represents more than 335,000 employees of California schools, colleges and universities”. Other sites suggest we credential about 30,000 new teachers every year.
