I would hope so. Good for him for standing up for his rights. Hope he nails the school for stealing his money and giving it to a corrupt little club.
Don't you think that might be a bit extreme? Teacher unions usually negotiate for higher pay, working conditions, etc. so instead of making $27K this guy probably started off making $40-$50K. Idk, it just doesn't seem corrupt when you are getting a benefit.
I support individuals opting out of the unions at their places of employment. I also think they should forgo the raises and benefits that the union negotiates.
Should they also forgo blue skies and sunshine since unions take credit for that as well?
Unions negotiate pay and benefits for people who are too screwed-up to get them through their own negotiations.
The above average will always command greater pay and benefits than the excuse makers and unions will always be there to oppose that sort of merit based compensation.

And yes, some places pay $27K.
I don't know about elsewhere but here in PA that's about where a new teacher is going to start out but it goes up quick. I think they get as much as a $10k raise in the first three years. 20+ year teacher is making $70K + healthcare + pension. It's about $100K when it's all said and done.

It's a bit higher where I am from. $50-$60K after 2 years up to $150K after 20-30 yrs. Depending on the subject and degrees you can make $90-$100K after 7 years. This is a high performing school though. 27.5 ACT, 1962 SAT, and 4.27 AP scores.
If you don't like to work at a unionized business and pay your required union dues, quit and go work at the VERY abundant non union, low wage jobs found all around! Problem solved.
I sure hope that you pay Union wages (inflated and unrealistic) when you hire people to work for you!

Doubtful considering TX ranks near the bottom on education metrics. Most likely TX districts get what they pay for.
All teachers come from the same pool of graduates.
Schools are not good or bad......the parents desire and respect for education determine a "good school".
By far, the lowest performing schools in the world are American inner city schools, with very few exceptions. You may have a few schools that perform well, but they're generally ones that can pick and choose the students that they want and launch the bad apples.
Michigan high school social studies teacher Adam Neuman was surprised when he saw the $80 deduction on his paycheck from the Brighton Public School District.
Then, he was angry.
He has his lawsuit filed as he should have and he will win, that should resolve the issue and keep it from happening to others down the road.
