Our goal is to be the one stop shop for leftism here at lemmy.world! We welcome anyone with beliefs ranging from SocDemocracy to Anarchism to post, discuss, and interact with our community. We are a democratic community, and as such, welcome metaposts that seek to amend the rules through consensus. Post articles, videos, questions, analysis and more. As long as it's leftist, it's welcome here!

Tl;dr: the right wing, anti-union group Freedom Foundation attempted to commit mail fraud to get teachers to drop their union membership.

I guess if you can’t convince people to support your cause, trying to deceive them into doing so is the next best thing.

What they did is felony mail fraud, so yes. If postal police or the DOJ pursue it, they can absolutely be charged.

They real question is will they be charged?

the AFT said they're reserving the right to file a lawsuit in their Cease and Desist. I hope they pursue it.
