“Keep up the great work. I received both the email and mailer to opt-out of the union; however had already done so. Your work is the first I had seen noting the option to opt-out. Of course the unions nor the State made any effort to notify employees of the option.”

– Darla, State Employee

“Yes, finally! I’ve been asking where the dues go for over 20 years. I am signing and sending this (opt-out form) today. THANK YOU!”

“For 28 years I have never been a registered public union member but forced to belong to the corrupt organizations without my written consent. Now toward the end of my career I might be freed from a political force that I have never agreed with…Thank you again for all your work this last decade for the working class that has been pilfered by these political organizations and have always push the political values that I personally do not/have not agreed with.”

– Oregon state employee

“I am a WSDOT employee very unhappy about having to support the WFSE political agenda. Imagine my delight when the Janus decision came down. Not being a passive wait and see person, I instructed my payroll department to cancel the union deduction from my paycheck. They complied, and I have their word in writing. I am happy to stop being compelled to donate to an agenda I don’t agree with. Maybe you can spread the word about quitting the union this way.”

– Patrick
