Mark Turek of Unfairshare.org [1], a grassroots citizens' group in Maine opposed to compulsory union dues for State employees, became the latest in a line [2]of employees to quit in protest. Turek resigned Labor Day Monday, blasting the compulsion that he feels has poisoned his workplace.

"There are so many inappropriate things happening within Maine State Government, I am no longer able to work in that environment," stated Turek. Vowing to persevere despite leaving his job, he continued, "Our general taxpayers and the hard-working state employees all deserve a better system, and I sincerely hope that happens some day. Happy Labor Day!"

How many more employees have to jump ship before the powers that be in Maine ditch forcing workers to pay dues' Bravo to those employees that have stood fast in the face of this continuing injustice.
