Important Supreme Court Case

As of Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court is back in session. On the Free Enterprise Watch list is Davenport v. Washington Education Association scheduled for argument in December.

The outcome of case will determine if states can force unions to obtain permission from nonmember workers before spending their money for political purposes. The Washington state Supreme Court struck down a state law that banned the use of union association fees for political purposes without the consent of its workers.

The burden to ensure that the worker's wishes are complied with should lie on the unions, not the worker. To find out more about this case, visit GoUpState.com and here.
