San Jose, California – Wednesday morning, September 28, a group of California educators will brief the media as their attorneys move for a temporary restraining order and a hearing on a preliminary injunction in U.S. District Court. The educators are seeking to prevent California Teacher Association (CTA) and California Faculty Association (CFA) union officials from spending a per-capita increase of forced union dues without due process in order to influence the upcoming special election.

What: Press conference to announce attempt to obtain statewide temporary restraining order and a preliminary injunction against expenditure of forced dues for electioneering
When: 10:30 a.m., Pacific
Wednesday, September 28
Where: U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California
280 South First Street

Why: Unless the further expenditure of forced union dues is blocked, irreparable harm will be done to educators’ constitutional rights, since an election cannot be undone. CTA and CFA union officials have already written checks to several campaign committees totaling more than $45 million and announced they will spend even more.
