Marie Dupont understands the injustice of her money being used to support a political candidate without her authorization (“
A Teachers Union Candidate Took My Money and Ran for Office,” Cross Country, Oct. 18). This is no surprise when it comes to public-sector unions. Since the Supreme Court’s ruling in
Janus v. Afscme (2018), I have learned more about the nefarious ways these entities mislead, subvert and treat their members like ATM machines. Ms. Dupont found perhaps the simplest way to remedy the abuse: to resign. Without funds, the unions can’t operate in the way her legal filing alleges. Under Janus each public-sector union member has that right. Exercise it.
