The U.S. Supreme Court accepted an appealled by National Right to Work Foundation

attorneys in Davenport v. Washington Educa-

tion Association (WEA) or 4,000 Washington

non-union teachers orced to pay union dues.

Oral argument was heard on January 10, 2007;

a ruling is expect by June.

The High Court reviewed the Washington State

Supreme Courts outrageous decision creat-

ing a dangerous new precedent that union

oicials somehow have a First Amendment

rightto spend on politics the mandatory dues

paid by non-union members. The Washingtoncourt used this novel rationale to strike down

the last operative provision o the well-meant,

but ineective, state campaign nance law

sometimes called paycheck protection, which

intended to limit the misuse o orced dues or

certain political activities.

The dismal track record o state paycheck

protection laws makes it increasingly clear

that this regulatory approach is imprudent,

and now Washingtons law has become a

platorm to create an even larger problem.

I upheld, the Washington State Supreme

Court decision in Davenport v. WEA may

open the door or union lawyers to under-

mine 22 states Right to Work laws, which

make union ailiation and dues payment

strictly voluntary.

While the appeal is primarily a legal rescue

mission that should never have been nec-

essary, Right to Work attorneys ound an

opening and went on the oensive askingthe High Court to clariy that its 45-year-old

dissent is not to be presumed statement

does not apply to non-union members. Union

ofcials have exploited that phrase rom a

1961 ruling to justiy orcing employees, who

resign union membership, to take the addi-

tional afrmative step o objecting annually to

prevent the use o their orced dues on politics

and other non-bargaining unctions. A victory

on this argument would signicantly advance

the battle or employee reedom: Thousands

o non-union members in non-Right to Workstates would automatically be entitled to

annual dues rebates o hundreds o dollars

each. www.rw.org
