Someone told me that union dues are 1% of annual compensation. Wild. Although I learned that teachers pay closer to 2%. Seems like a lot.

Depends, doesn't it?

Solid negotiations basically pay the dues and then some.

This may not be true for all diciplines / positions.

In terms of risks, marginalizing those is worth something too.

For many, just keeping health care sane is worth a lot more than a couple points.

For teachers that totally makes sense. But this is a minority union that will not have collective bargaining power in the foreseeable future.
