WILL Develops Website to Help Teachers Exercise their Rights under Act 10

Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty:

Today, the Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty - along with Education Action Group - have launched a website that will make it easier for teachers in Wisconsin to exercise their rights. A new website, TeacherFreedom.org, helps teachers opt out of their public unions.

After filling out a short questionnaire on the website, an opt- out letter is automatically created. The teacher then must mail the signed letter to his or her union officer. "TeacherFreedom.org serves as a tool to enable teachers to leave their union if they so choose," explains Rick Esenberg, WILL President and General Counsel.

"Under Act 10, teachers can resign from their labor union and choose to stop paying union dues, saving money in the process. For the first time, teachers are free agents and not bound to the rigid union employment rules," he continued.
