I have a new post up over on PE+CO exposing how Red River United (RRU), the American Federation of Teachers-affiliated union representing educators in Caddo, Bossier, and Red River Parishes in Northwest Louisiana, is using bureaucratic obstacles to prevent members from leaving the organization.
The union is refusing to stop the automatic deductions of monthly dues from three teachers until they come to the Red River United’s offices to provide a so-called “wet signature” in the presence of a union employee.
With the U.S. Supreme Court’s upcoming decision in Janus v. AFSCME, it’s likely that teachers unions across the country will employ these types of tactics to prevent members from dropping out.
