Yes, and I think you've clarified that for all of us, too, because that would be a more extreme step for us to take, to make dues voluntary.
The problem I had.... I'm a former carpenter as well. I still call myself a carpenter first, by the way. I could just go to another union. I didn't need to go to just one particular union, but as a teacher in B.C. I had no choice. Whatever process that particular association was involved in, I was part of it whether I liked it or not. I think this was accountability that we wanted to see. If it's going to be done, at least...so that we can all see it.
Accountability measures are something we should all pursue and then, again, if there is nothing to hide, there is simply nothing to hide.
