Pay your dues or change religions!
HT to Jimmy Akin for this one. Complete story here. In Ohio, the only way you can claim a moral objection to paying your union dues based on religion is if you are SDA or Mennonite.
Told by a union official to pay forced dues or “change religions,” a teacher in southern Ohio is challenging a state law that allows only those public employees who belong to certain denominations the right to claim religious objection to paying union dues.
Carol Katter, a mathematics and language arts instructor in the St. Marys district, filed a federal complaint in the U.S. District Court in Columbus this week over an Ohio law that prevents the lifelong Catholic from diverting her dues from a union she refuses to fund because it supports abortion on demand.
Clearly, it’s a case of injustice, and I will be really surprised if it stands. This is the type of thing that the Catholic League exists for, and I am sure they’ll have a good time with it.
