THERE'S NOTHING MORE IMPORTANT THAN BREAKING THE PUBLIC EMPLOYEE UNIONS:

For unions, a Supreme test of fairness (Bob Williams, 11/06/06, CS Monitor)

[O]n March 16, the Washington State Supreme Court turned the Constitution on its head and ruled that the WEA can use nonmember teachers' dues for political activity without getting permission from the individual teachers.

Incredibly, the unions have argued they have no "fiduciary duty" to the teachers they represent. In other words, once the union bosses take dues from their teachers, they think that their hard-earned money can be used for whatever the union pleases.
