The Olympian reminds us that the anti-WEA lawsuit over agency shop fees
heads to the Supreme Court for oral argument this week. Profiling Gary Davenport--who comes off as a nice, thoughtful guy, if a bit strained, calling the union "bullies"--the article notes something just a little ironic:
The former high school social studies teacher said he left teaching because his growing family needed more money than he earned as a teacher.
I seem to recall a particular union
spending nearly all its political capital to change that.
I'm no legal eagle, but why does he have any standing to bring a case against the WEA if he's not a teacher any more? Don't go away angry, Gary...just go away!
ReplyDeleteI think the original suit was filed years ago, back when Davenport had more recently (as he claimed, anyhow) been coerced to put up his cash to support eeeeeevil.
