WASHINGTON: Survey says ... WFSE members fed up

InWashington state, one of the many ways the Freedom Foundation is reaching out to public employees this year is by survey. Members of the Washington Federation of State Employees (WFSE) were the first to be reached, and the numbers are already telling a story.

Of the members surveyed: n 86 percent of the respondents pay dues; n 60 percent are not strong WFSE supporters; n 73 percent think their dues are too expensive; n 73 percent disagree with WFSE’s

spending priorities; n 80 percent think WFSE protects poor-performing employees; n 73 percent don’t feel their values align with WFSE’s; and, n 73 percent don’t feel that their concerns are a priority to WFSE.

The kicker?

Only 20 percent would continue to pay dues to WFSE, while 80 percent would consider opting out or already plan to.

In the feedback section, one employee commented, “WFSE completely failed me,” explaining he was forced to resign by his union rep over an unfortunate miscommunication.

Another employee stated, “The union should be standing up to the woke agenda being forced on employees, and in my experience the union doesn’t do anything to help employees. If you want employees to continue to be in the union, you should actually do something to support them.”

The numbers don’t lie. WFSE members are ready to get out.
