Union Service Fees For All Teachers Would Have To Be Negotiated

Service fees for representation by teachers unions in over half of Maryland’s counties would have to be negotiated under a bill that passed the House of Delegates last week and has a Senate hearing Tuesday. The fees would have to be paid by non-union members for bargaining and other services provided by the unions.

Similar service fees are authorized at the state’s public four-year colleges and universities by bills that have passed in each house. But most university employees, including administrators and faculty, are not currently covered by collective bargaining units.

The service fees known as “fair share’’ are already in effect in 10 of Maryland’s 24 jurisdictions, including the largest counties, and 79% of teachers are already covered, according to Del. Anne Kaiser, D-Montgomery, the floor leader on the bill, HB667.

Isn't this the same thing that was taken out in Wisconsin or Michigan with a right to work law?

Get rid of it here too!

Force feeding unionism should be illegal!

This is extortion. Democrat Government sponsored theft that only serves to prop up their base.
