www.huffpost.com

Mailers from the Freedom Foundation dangling a dues “credit” looked like they came from a union president.

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

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?

Remember that there is no “right way” to implement leftist theory. This rule does not prevent academic criticism.
