Adam Neuman left the classroom in Michigan to serve in the army in Afghanistan.
Michigan high school social studies teacher Adam Neuman was surprised when he saw the $80 deduction on his paycheck from the Brighton Public School District.
Then, he was angry.
The U.S. Army veteran, who served one tour in Afghanistan, had opted out of the Brighton Education Association and parent organization, the Michigan Education Association, in August, as was his right under the state's 2012 law. He knew he wasn't subject to dues withholding, yet the itemized stub showed the deduction.
I dont feel that they should be taking money out of my check if I am not part of the union, Neuman, who has taught for 17 years at his alma mater in Brighton, 45 miles west of Detroit, told FoxNews.com. The law is clear. Im no longer required to pay dues. Its as if they are punishing me for not staying in the union."
Upon investigating, Neuman learned that the union deduction was not considered dues, but something called "release time" -- money earmarked to pay the salary of the union president. Teachers who double as union officers have half their salaries paid by the school district and the other half by the union. Under the current contract, all teachers, even those who opt out, must chip in for the union's share.
- Adam Neuman, teacher and veteran from Brighton, Mich.
Neuman notes that Michigan state law states that any union member who opts out does not have to financially support the union as a condition of employment which includes any dues, fees, assessments, or other charges or expenses of any kind or amount," under the act.
This isnt about the money, Neuman, 40, said. Its a matter of principle for me. I believe my rights are straightforward and clear.
The release time practice cost Michigan taxpayers nearly $3 million a year as of 2011. Although the state House of Representatives passed a bill banning the practice of paying teachers for union work, the bill has languished in the Senate.
