Convinced that the Professional Staff Congress had treated agency-fee payers unfairly, David Seidemann, a Yale educated full professor of Geology at Brooklyn College, has been patient and tenacious in seeking justice. Since 2002, he’s amassed voluminous documentation, collected and examined all relevant information and legal precedents, and pursued the PSC with the tenacity and conviction of an irate faculty member.
Seidemann sensed that there was some hanky panky going on with his and your hard-earned dollars. The 1 percent of our gross salary that goes to union dues or agency fees should be spent for our benefit rather than being diverted to further the New Caucasians’ political agenda. He could see that rather than negotiating a good contract, the PSC was using dues money to subsidize parades, demonstrations, marches, signs, transportation, etcetera, for every loony leftist cause under the sun.
Thus, he filed suit in federal court in 2002. Now, six years later, David Seidemann has won a monumental victory against the PSC, a victory that has stunned the leadership of Battlin’ Barb Bowen and Foggy London.
For those not familiar with the case, and for those who wish to refresh their knowledge, we provide background information in brief below. The complete text of Federal Court Judge Lois Bloom’s decision will be found in the attached file.
