I have no trouble with 'fair share' if the union is not mandated by State Statute just to be able to have a job.

That is the Oregon system. 

If I have no choice but to be a union member to even have a job, that is involuntary servitude in reference to the Union requirement.  

As a mandated member of SEIU 503, my salary doubled in 12 1/2 years because of that union membership, so it was to my benefit, of course.  

I was doing precisely the same job when I retired as the day I was hired. My salary doubled, all paid for by the taxpayers.

Was my service so invaluable that no one else could have done it except for a double salary?

I challenge you to provide evidence of any other salaried employee in the private sector in Oregon to which that applies.  Time frame:  1998 to 2010. 

That is only part of what is wrong.  I am also getting my Tier Two PERS for life with right of survivorship.   All paid for by the taxpayers.  

Why should non-governmental taxpayers have to put up with that?
