A state law that prohibits the North Carolina Association of Educators from deducting dues from member’s paychecks is illegal. A judge made that ruling this week. The group’s president Rodney Ellis says the law is unfair because it singles out the teacher’s organization.
“We felt it was as a result of us taking a position of opposition of what was going to be, in our opinion, a budget that would not benefit the students and educators in North Carolina and our schools,” says Ellis.
