Did you know you can choose NOT to join the teacher's union?
Explore your options.
Exercise your freedom to choose.
Don't let union leaders pressure you into paying hundreds of dollars a year.
Between July 1 and 15, Nevada education professionals can opt out of union membership! This two-week window of opportunity gives teachers the chance to save up to $850 per year.
It’s summer. Most teachers are on vacation, visiting with family, or taking some well deserved time off—and school-related activities are not exactly the first thing on their minds. Union leaders would happily like them to forget that union membership is a choice!
You can opt out of membership July 1st-15th each year! Don’t miss your opportunity to exercise your freedom to choose this year.
