A Fiendish Consistency Is Another Hobgoblin of Little Minds
The St. Louis teachers' union hasn't met a compulsion it didn't like, and apparently doesn't know what "fair" means:
    St. Louis teachers have clashed with Superintendent Creg Williams lately over teacher absenteeism, payroll system glitches and the requirement that 1,000 teachers must reapply for their jobs. The teachers even passed a no-confidence vote on Sunday.

    But now, the union representing teachers will sit down with Williams - possibly within a week - to solicit his support for a measure that would require district employees who have declined to join the union to pay union dues.

    If adopted by the St. Louis School Board, the "fair share proposal" introduced at a Tuesday night work session would require teachers, clerical workers, safety officers and teacher assistants who are not members of Local 420 to pay union dues.
The teachers' union plays its role in squandering compulsively-collected taxpayer money. Why shouldn't it feel it has the right to demand the right to squander compelled contributions from non-members, too?
