My views as a devouted Catholic vs. the SEIU and its opinions

[BLeFevre]

I am a State employee and I belong to the SEIU. When I got my job five years ago I was sent a letter that said I could be a member of the SEIU and pay dues or I could not join and pay “service fees”, whatever that means. I am sickened by the recent violence done to a man by members of the SEIU who was exercising his freedom of speech outside a town hall meeting for the government health care plan .

I do not support the very liberal views of the SEIU and I do not want to support them financially. I also have five children to support and I do not know the problems leaving the SEIU would create. I’ve heard people ask questions similar to this but I don’t remember the responses. I’m just sad that I even feel this way about an organization that is suppose to help its members. It just seems like it’s helping itself.

I suggest you contact some of the lawyers at ACLJ or Thomas More Law Center.

There was a case in Ohio where a teacher sued the union over paying dues that would support abortion (the union was using money for lobbying, political campaigns, etc). She won.

Don’t know what state you are in, but perhaps someone at one of these law firms I mentioned above who specialize in helpin Christians with various discrimination and conscience issues can offer you some advice.
