2/ For over 10 yrs, Mark #Janus worked as a child support specialist for IL – When parents weren’t together anymore, he worked to ensure that children received all the financial support available to them. But in order to do it, he was forced to check his #1A rights at the door.
3/ "Serving others has always been a part of who I am. I took pride in my job at the state." says Mark #Janus. But when it came to paying to support the unions' politics and policies "I had no choice, and no voice in the matter." -Mark #Janus #1A
4/ "I’m not anti-union and neither was my case... But what was unfair and unconstitutional is forcing me... to pay to advance policies we oppose just so we could serve our communities and our state." - Mark #Janus
5/ Unfortunately, many unions, and the politicians that protect their interests, have been slow to implement the #Janus ruling. As a result, many gov workers are unaware of their rights and are being bullied or coerced to joining and remaining in a union. #1A
6/ If you work for the government and are being told you cannot leave your public-sector union or if you started working for the government after June 27, 2018, and were never told you had a choice, we can help!
