At issue are recent audit findings against DSHS regarding day care fraud in the city of Mattawa, Washington... more WSF workers arrested for stealing fares Yesterday's arrest of four Washington State Ferry System employees caught stealing fares has finally put a human face on the repeat audit findings against the Department of Transportation's ferry division. For nearly two decades, the Ferry System has failed audits due to inadequate controls over ticket sales and revenue collection. The finding dates back to 1986. Eighteen years later, officials still don't know how many passengers ride the ferries, or where all the money collected from passengers ends up... more WEA Likes Silence If being a public school teacher or counselor in this state did not require these state-funded employees to pay union dues, the Washington Education Association could justify doing whatever it wants with teachers' hard-earned dollars. Teachers could voluntarily pull their money away from the union if they did not like the group's direction or if it strayed too far from its collective-bargaining purposes. As it is, however, union dues are mandatory. That leaves the WEA with obligations to teachers who differ with the union's political ideology. And that is why Initiative 134 was passed years ago.

Extractions: Read our new booklet for important information about the WEA and your choices BACKGROUND ON OPTING OUT OF YOUR UNION Two ways of opting out of the WEA/NEA: As an "agency fee payer" or as a " religious objector " Many teachers express support for their local union but desire to opt out of the state and national unions. However, the union imposes a unified dues structure which does not typically permit supporting the local union without also funding the WEA and NEA. Agency Fee Payers: If you want to get money back because you have political or ideological objections to WEA/NEA's agenda, you can become an agency fee payer. Agency fee payers give the union 100% of regular dues, but are eligible to claim a rebate of roughly 30% each year if they remember to request it in writing each fall. To get a rebate, send a request letter by each year's deadline to the WEA. A sample letter has been prepared by National Right to Work Foundation attorneys: Rebate letter MS Word version Your letter stating you wish to opt out and that you "object to WEA's use of your agency fee for non-chargeable activities" (legalese for "I want a rebate") should include:
