Teachers balk, leave state union | desmoinesregister.com | The Des Moines Register

Teachers in a Marion County school district have become the first in Iowa to split from the state's largest teachers union.
Political differences fueled the move by teachers at the Twin Cedars school district in Bussey.
Some teachers say they opposed the Iowa State Education Association's push for the failed "fair share" bill, which would have let public employee unions charge service fees to nonunion workers.
Others didn't like that part of their annual dues is sent to the National Education Association, a powerful supporter of the Democratic Party.
