Problem solved!
In CT (as I'm sure in most places), the dues come directly out of the teachers' paycheck, and teachers do NOT have the option of witholding a portion of their dues. If they did, I agree, problem would be solved. But that's not an option.

Unions don't like giving members options, you see, they want guaranteed union dues so they can buy democrats who will reward them with insane benefits.
