Opinion from Steven Williams, Political Education Legislative Coordinator, AFSCME Council 24:
In my personal opinion, I still cannot understand how a union member who pays union dues can support now paying thousands more in health insurance costs and retirement contributions in order to not pay union dues. In the WSEU, the proposed union dues structure has members paying less than $500 annually.
Read the posting on this blog that identifies that Scott Walker is now going to pass on an "ADDITIONAL" five percent in health insurance costs to public employees who will already assume a 12.6 percent increase in the health insurance costs. That means that by January 2012 public employees will now be paying over 17 percent of their health insurance costs.
Just these two items alone beg the question; "how does a union member believe it is better to pay NO union dues in exchange for paying thousands more in benefit costs?"
Union dues are needed for the continued fight against tyranny that we currently are facing here in Wisconsin.
