Re: The 112th Congress: Debt ceiling edition
From my experience you'll automatically (have to) join the union. And union dues are deducted from your pay. IF it's a union position (full time teacher etc..) instead of part-time or temp.
This doesn't really answer my question. When I ask whether school districts are typically union shops, what I mean is, do teachers normally HAVE to join the union. I imagine all (or very close to it) public school districts have unions negotiating for them. But in every case I have been part of, whether or not you join that union is up to you.
