As
previously reported on NetRightDaily.com,
the Wicomico County Education Association (WCEA) is scheduled to hold a
vote on April 28th and 29th on changes to the teachers association
bylaws, removing the WCEA’s mandatory association with the state
union. Needless to say, the MSEA isn’t going let this vote happen
without consequences.
In
response to the impending vote, loyalists to the state union secretly
entered the WCEA’s offices, changed the locks and security codes,
altered office equipment, and fired the WCEA’s sole employee, all in
violation of the law and the governing documents of the WCEA, according
to WCEA leadership.
This
response is akin to the bully tactics of a neighborhood gangster after
a local business misses its latest “protection” payment—but instead of
“protection” extortion, the state union is ensuring that it won’t lose
county teachers’ annual dues in excess of $500,000. It appears the MSEA
is making an example of Wicomico Country teachers, lest any other small
county teachers decide they don’t need to pay half a million dollars or
more to a politically-charged, scandal-ridden state union.
The
disassociation vote is still scheduled to commence as planned.

That office break in event sounds a lot like Watergate. Those guys went to prison.

Not to confuse the union-minded folks, but teachers do not have to belong to a union - they can opt out of everything but an "agency fee" in Maryland that cannot include dues used for political contributions.
