    I’m a public employee in a union and we get these types of anti-union propaganda mailed to us from the creeps at the Freedom Foundation.

    Save money and celebrate your rights! Public employees save an average of $900!

    There’s an “I want to leave the union” postcard filled out and attached, addressed to my union leaders.

    That one was St. Patrick’s Day themed.

    Not posting an image because it has all my personal details already filled out

      I used to get the same mailings. They send me a card to opt out of the union but nobody ever sends a card to opt out of those mailings.

      Someone should do this for members of the Fraternal Order of Police.

      And it’s already St. Patrick’s Day-themed!

      How in the everlasting dystopian fuck can those absolute thundercunts even do that.

        I’m a public employee, so my name is a public record. I own a home, so my address is a public record.

        I’m not sure how they know which union I’m a member of, though. There’s at least 3 on campus.

            No, you can look up what property someone owns, generally in the town or county records. It’s just if you own a property there’s a good chance it’s also your home.

            I didn’t get these mailings back when I rented. Confounding factor: I was in a different union. Same employer, though.

            So, you can look up the private address of most homeowners in the states I’ve lived. Usually these records are online, sometimes not. If you want to obfuscate your ownership of a property there’s some weird stuff you can do with having your home owned by a corporation and then you own the corporation or something. I don’t think that’s commonly done.
