That money doesn't belong to taxpayers. Taxpayers have zero say in how an employees money is spent. That's beyond absurd - Big Government controlling how you spend your pay!?

Perhaps employees should only be allowed to spend it at one company store?

You are talking about the collective bargaining agreement an employer bargains for themselves. You seem to have a problem with what the state has bargained for themselves. That has nothing to do with what employees spend their money upon. Sounds like you need to get angry at those in your state government that bargained an agreement with teachers that you don't care for.

An employee has the freedom to choose to work in a job where they have to join a union, or not.

I believe what he is saying is that the teachers are paid with taxpayer money AND before they get paid, thier union dues are taken out of thier checks involuntarily because they are forced currently to be in the union.
