Ohio Education Association Plans $50 Member Assessment for Collective Bargaining Fight
The Columbus Dispatch broke the news. The union expects to raise $5 million that way, but I suspect NEA will match that amount when its own political assessment increase passes in July.
OEA asserts that agency fee payers will not be able to opt out of the assessment, presumably on the stance that although it is political spending, it’s for collective bargaining. I expect there will be legal challenges to that position.
