Anew Indiana law that goes into effect July 1 will make it much easier for teachers to opt out of union memberships and to stop having dues deducted from their paychecks.
Supporters say it’s a victory for the First Amendment rights of teachers, who are sometimes not aware they have a right to choose whether or not to be in a union and often cannot easily leave the union once they’ve joined.
“Teachers are not usually told up front how much those dues will be and oftentimes, deductions are taken without their knowledge or permission,” said Sharon Row, of Indiana Professional Educators, Inc., an association of non-union teachers.
